On February 11, the online community was surprised to find that Elon Musk's personal X account had been renamed "Harry Bōlz". This change quickly attracted attention and sparked many speculations about the meaning behind this name.

What message is Musk sending with the name "Harry Bōlz"?

Many people believe that Musk is mocking the controversy related to Edward Coristine, a member of the DOGE group. Coristine, who uses the nickname "Big Balls", is said to be involved in Musk's efforts to control the US government's computer system. Recently, The Washington Post reported that Coristine had been appointed as a "senior advisor" at the Bureau of Diplomatic Technology under the US Department of State, despite being fired for allegedly leaking internal information to a competing company.

Musk's change of his personal account name may be a direct satire of Coristine's case. The term "Bōlz" in the name "Harry Bōlz" has a pronunciation quite similar to "Balls" in "Big Balls", Coristine's nickname, suggesting that Musk is mocking the way the media reported on this case.

Musk's action is even more attention-grabbing as many believe he often expresses his views in a humorous and sarcastic style on X. In the past, Musk has changed his X account name to various strange or controversial names.

Coristine was previously a member of the DOGE group - a group of tech personnel involved in Musk's projects, including system security and data management activities. However, he was fired for allegedly leaking internal information. Nevertheless, Coristine was still appointed to an important position by the US government, making the case a hot topic in public opinion.
