DOGE"s "Big Balls" Was Beaten Up--and Musk Is Already Lying About It
Elon Musk is spinning a strange lie about a bloody attack on former
DOGE member Edward Coristine, a.k.a. "Big Balls."
...

Neither of these highly dramatized accounts aligns with the
Metropolitan Police Department's report. While Trump and Musk claimed
a brutal assault involving a gang of men, the MPD reported an unarmed carjacking, with only two 15-year-old suspects detained, a girl and a
boy.
Fearmongering and hyperbole are common tactics for Trump and other conservatives, especially around events like these. But Washington,
D.C.'s unique nonstate status has emboldened the president, as he has
hinted at taking over the city countless times before. Everyone
deserves to feel safe in the city they live in, but Big Balls getting
mugged is not a valid excuse to start rounding up kids and revoking
the little autonomy the city has.
