One of the things that President Donald Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk have in common is that they both like to have a good time trolling liberal media for acting like Democratic operatives.
The media has gone all in to pick up the Democratic theme against DOGE, once DOGE started exposing all kinds of fraud and abuse in the government. They even doxxed the young guys who are working on the DOGE team, which then resulted in them being threatened by people on the left. Then the media even referred to one of the guys by an online nickname he apparently had used -- "Big Balls" -- in order to try to make him look bad. But people thought that was hilarious that they were obsessed with it and it went viral. Democrats and their acolytes in the media seem all in on doing anything they can to demonize this process and obscure what's been going on. But when they're obsessed with stuff like that, it just makes them look sillier.

After seeing what happened with "Big Balls," it looked like Elon Musk decided he wanted to defend his team member and troll the media a bit.
So Musk changed his profile name to "Harry Bōlz." He also revealed how, through USAID, American taxpayers had been paying for circumcisions throughout the world and paying ridiculous prices. He joked if he took it over, he would charge less.
One of the things USAID was doing was offering free circumcisions throughout the world, but charging US taxpayers ridiculously high prices!

It's not the first time a leftist outlet has fallen for a funny online name, as "Deez Nutz" epically proved:

The media went for it, talking about his "name change." Listen as CNN's Dana Bash talks about it:
Made them say my name 🤣🤣

"Now the 'Disruptor in Chief,' @ElonMusk, who apparently has adopted the alias, at least he changed his social media handle, to 'Harry Bōlz', tweeted this morning, 'Democracy in America is being destroyed by judicial coup. An activist judge is not a real judge."
Does she even know what she's saying? I'm not sure there, but it's an example of how easily played they are. Musk is helping them implode and they don't even get it.
So is it Big Balls, or “Harry Bōlz”.

It's getting very confusing over at CNN. They are VERY busy with balls. Can they please start clarifying and providing more content on the balls they are reporting on? America is demanding transparency.
No one takes CNN seriously anymore. pic.twitter.com/t09rrsdyZl
Looks like Fox didn't want to go there and edited it.
Fox News edited Harry Bōlz to Harry Blz! 😂🤣 @FoxNews You’re funny! pic.twitter.com/PiPCiSDd47

But once he had CNN go for it, "Harry" went back to being "Elon Musk" again, having achieved his goal. In the meantime, not only did he get them to say "Harry Bōlz," but he also got them to feature his point about the judge being an activist and interfering with the ability of the executive branch to audit/review the executive branch.
Great job there, CNN.
