According to former FBI agent Jonathan Buma, after the Ukraine war, Russian spies targeted Elon Musk and Peter Thiel to obtain their private information for blackmail.
Elon Musk: A sensational claim has emerged regarding Elon Musk, one of the world's most prominent entrepreneurs. Former FBI agent Jonathan Buma stated that Russian intelligence agencies were working on a plan to entrap Musk using sex, drugs, and blackmail.
Musk and Peter Thiel Targeted
Buma revealed that since the beginning of the Ukraine war, Elon Musk and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel have been targets of Russian spies. Their objective was to gather sensitive information from Musk's personal life to blackmail him if necessary.
Major Revelation in Documentary
This claim was made in a documentary by German broadcaster ZDF. According to Buma, Russian President Vladimir Putin was aware of and approved the entire plan. He explained that Russian intelligence agencies were monitoring Musk's personal interests and habits.
Musk's Habits Used as Weapons
Buma claims that Russia perceived Musk's alleged involvement with women and drugs, particularly ketamine, as an opportunity and plotted to exploit it. This strategy aimed to weaken Musk and gain control over him.
Was Putin Involved?
Buma asserted that such an espionage operation would not be possible without Putin's approval. While he didn't disclose his sources, he maintains that this operation wasn't limited to Musk—Russia is also targeting other influential tech and finance leaders.
FBI Agent Himself Involved in Controversies
It's important to note that Jonathan Buma's career has also been mired in controversy. In March 2024, he was charged with leaking classified information and released on $100,000 bail.
Musk and Russia's Contact
According to a Wall Street Journal report, Musk and Putin have maintained contact since 2022—the same year Russia invaded Ukraine. These growing ties have raised questions in the US, especially after Musk warned of shutting down the Starlink internet service provided to Ukraine.
Middle East Trip with Trump
Recently, Musk accompanied Donald Trump on a Middle East trip, meeting with the Emir of Qatar and other prominent leaders. This high-profile visit included a spectacular Cybertruck entrance.
