Edward Coristine (born December 2005) is an American software engineer and federal government adviser. He rose to national attention in 2025 as one of the youngest members of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a private-sector initiative that embedded technologists across U.S. federal agencies. Coristine held senior advisory roles at the Office of Personnel Management and General Services Administration before being appointed as a full-time federal employee at the GS-15 level. Following his resignation from DOGE in June 2025, he joined the Social Security Administration as a special government employee, focusing on digital modernization and website optimization.[1][2][3][4]

"Reason has discovered the struggle for existence and the law that I must throttle all those who hinder the satisfaction of my desires. That is the deduction reason makes. But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable."
