US billionaire Elon Musk is said to have been the target of Russian agents who infiltrated his circle, with alleged contact with Putin.
Former FBI agent Jonathan Buma tells ZDF that US billionaire Elon Musk was targeted by Russian agents, and there is evidence to support this claim.
>Musk's Lifestyle and Vulnerabilities
Elon Musk is known for his drug use, sex, gambling, and eccentric festivals, according to former FBI agent Johnathan Buma in an exclusive ZDF interview. Musk's lifestyle reportedly made it easy for Russian intelligence to influence the head of Tesla and X.
>Musk's susceptibility to promiscuous women and drug use, particularly ketamine, was seen as an opportunity by the Russian intelligence service where an agent could intervene.

Buma, a 16-year FBI Special Agent with expertise in Russian espionage, observed Russian agents infiltrating the companies of emerging tech billionaires in California.

>Evidence of Russian Operations
Besides Musk, PayPal founder Peter Thiel is also said to have been targeted by Russian intelligence. When asked if there was a Russian operation targeting Musk and Thiel, Buma replied, "Yes."
>I cannot discuss details about how we obtained the information. But there is a significant amount of evidence supporting this fact.

>Contact Between Musk and Putin
According to Buma, Russian President Vladimir Putin was behind the outreach to Musk and Thiel. The envoys sent to contact both had direct ties to Putin.
>They wouldn't have done this if Putin hadn't personally been aware of and approved the operation.

>Musk's Change in Stance
Notably, in 2022, Musk switched sides. While he supported Ukrainian soldiers with his satellites due to contractual obligations, he now opposes further aid to the attacked country, echoing Russian demands to his over 600 million users on platform X. In early 2025, he also interfered in the German federal election campaign, endorsing the AfD.

>Arrest and Allegations
The new US government would apparently prefer to keep Buma's information secret. Shortly before the ZDF interview, Buma was arrested and accused of intending to pass secret information about FBI counterintelligence operations to journalists.
Buma's passport was confiscated. Released on a $100,000 bail, he is temporarily restricted to Utah, Arizona, or California. His allegations are serious, and his conclusion is:
>I think this represents the biggest failure in the history of American counterintelligence.

>with alleged contact with Putin.
didn't he literally admit to contact with Putin a few months ago? Some shit about being on calls?

Russians have video of Musk and a tranny wearing EEG headsets and Groking together. For 2029 when tRump is out and the Democrats are back in.
