CNN Mocked For “Bombshell” Report That DOGE Staffer Went By “Big Balls” Online

Really getting the hard-hitting scoop.

We’re less than 3 weeks into President Donald Trump’s second term and the media are already having a hard time keeping up with everything they’re outraged about. Whether it’s his executive orders or his pardons or his action on illegal immigration, it seems like every day they’ve got something else to be mad about it before they have to move on to the next one.

And recently, DOGE has got them REALLY fired up.

DOGE is, of course, the Department of Government Efficiency, an office created by President Trump and headed up by Elon Musk with the goal of reducing government spending and unnecessary regulations. And there’s been a lot of concern in the media surrounding what, exactly, Elon and his team have access to – and who is even on his team.

Well luckily the investigative journalists at CNN are on the case, and seemed to have figured out the identity of at least one DOGE staffer, dropping a “bombshell” report that one guy working for Elon is a 19-year old who used to go by the username “Big Balls.”

“So this is a 19-year old high school graduate who has used the unfortunate nickname “Big Balls” online, so that would be one way that we could refer to him. He is now working at Musk’s behest inside DOGE. And we looked into his background.”

Oh thank God they looked into Big Balls. And what did they find?

“This individual has founded multiple companies, including one with another unfortunate name, Tesla.Sexy LLC, which he established in 2021. This LLC controls dozens of web domains.”

You can’t make this stuff up. This is what they’re reporting on. And look at that chyron:

“DOGE Teen, Known Online As “Big Balls,” Now A Govt “Expert””

It’s perfect. A masterpiece. Amazing.

Of course, Elon took notice of the report and decided to do a little trolling of CNN’s journalism:

And the rest of the internet couldn’t help but laugh at CNN for their ridiculous story about “Big Balls.”

Just incredible. I’m sure CNN really thought they were doing something important with their Big Balls story, but instead they just got mocked and memed into oblivion on the platform that Elon himself owns. You can’t make this stuff up.

And the media has been working overtime to try to take down Elon Musk since inauguration day, starting almost immediately with the insane allegations that Musk gave a “Nazi salute” during a speech at the inauguration parade.

That narrative seems to have gone away, because earlier this week Musk was pictured with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who the media also hates and can’t believe Musk would be friends with.

I told you it was hard to keep up with all the outrage…all I know is that it’s been fun to watch, and it’s apparently only going to keep getting better.

But until then, thank you CNN for your hard-hitting journalism. All of America thanks you and the balls it took to report that story.
