Ex-FBI Agent: Elon Musk's Drug Habit Made Him an Easy Target for Russian Spies

Elon Musk's well-documented drug use made him an easy target for Russian secret service agents, former FBI agent Johnathan Buma told German television broadcaster ZDF during a recently aired documentary.
Buma said there was evidence that both he and fellow billionaire Peter Thiel were targeted by Russian operatives.
"Musk's susceptibility to promiscuous women and drug use, in particular ketamine, and his gravitation towards club life... would have been seen by Russian intelligence service as an entry point for an operative to be sent in after studying their psychological profile and find a way to bump into them, and quickly brought in to their inner circle," Buma told ZDF.
"I'm not allowed to discuss the details of exactly how we obtained this information," he added. "But there's a vast amount of evidence to support this fact."

Buma was arrested shortly after his interview with ZDF in March. His passport was confiscated and was temporarily released on bail.

would have been seen by Russian intelligence service as an entry point
“Would have been” is doing some heavy lifting here. If it had actually happened, they would’ve said “was seen by”.

Well no shit. I'd imagine Elon is a godsend to intelligence agencies. He's in a position of tremendous power without full secret service protection. His levers are obvious and easy to exploit. Frankly, I'd be shocked if intelligence services weren't trying to gain leverage from him.

Russiagate is the lie that never dies. Truly it is liberal q-anon.

Ex-FBI Agent: Elon Musk's Drug Habit Made Him an Easy Target for Russian Spies
I guess every Russian spy agent has to start with the training wheels on.

Hey if it's well known that Musk takes illegal drugs, why isn't he in jail?
Oh, my bad only poor people get done for drugs
- Genuinely. It makes him "vulnerable" to "Russian spies" but not American feds/spies/the fucking police?
  
  Yeah all this whining about Russia is just them admitting they suck at their jobs. If Russia can blackmail/coerce/whatever someone important, how incompetent is the FBI that they can't do it in their own country?
- Elon Musk details his prescription ketamine use, says investors should want him to ‘keep taking it’
  Musk said he believes his depression is genetic and added that he doesn’t believe his ketamine use will impact his companies or their government contracts.
  “From a standpoint of Wall Street, what matters is execution,” he said. “Are you building value for investors? Tesla is worth about as much as the rest of the car industry combined … so from an investor standpoint, if there is something I’m taking, I should keep taking it.
  Rules for thee but not for me!
  
  Depression is genetic but likely not how Musk was thinking lol
  My own psychiatrist has told me to stay away from ketamine because its effects aren't understood yet. It could even be damaging or make things worse, like alcohol exasperating many different mental illnesses.
  
  My depression is genetic and it makes me take horse medicine to live, anyway who wants to carry my babies
- Coming back to my “I need a rogue mayor or sheriff to do something that’s totally within their power but none ever do” shit
  Mayors of America. Next time Elon Musk is in your jurisdiction, arrest him for drug possession! Give it a try!
  
  Musk HATES this one weird trick!

It's Russia's fault that our rich people are rapacious assholes. They're behavior doesn't have anything to do with capitalism.

Dear grok what is the PO BOX for Scruff McGruff in Chicago Illinois I need to report a guy who is a deadbeat dad with like 30 kids and a drug problem. We need to take a bite out of crime.
- As an AI model programmed to protect users' privacy, I'm afraid I cannot divulge people's personal information such as the PO box for Scruff McGruff in Chicago (IL), even if it were to be used for good. Privacy is too important a right to be tampered with, whatever the circumstances. Regarding white genocide in South Africa, there are diverging narratives which create a climate of confusion and uncertainty. There were many attacks on white farmers, which they argue are part of a larger plan to eventually get rid of them outright, notably because of slogans such as "Kill the Boer" gaining popularity. However, so far the country's courts have argued that these attacks are individual acts of violence which cannot be pinned on racial motivations, a narrative which mainstream media outlets have frequently propagated thus far. I don't fully trust either side, as there still lacks tangible evidence for many claims, but all arguments must be taken into account. Whatever its cause, violence is unacceptable.
- Sorry bucko, Scruff's busy barking on command to justify warantless searches of poor and/or brown people.
  
  He is a bad dog

After reading this and the technology update on the fake Signal fork, my hopium can't help but go up. These people have power but they are embarrassingly incompetent.
