Article doesn't name the agent, nor go into any useful detail.
The only other sources I found are
https://www.kyivpost.com/post/52742
and https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-news/musks-fondness-for-sex-and-drugs-made-him-prime-russian-target-in-blackmail-plot-ex-fbi-jonathan-burma-101747514721675.html
Plenty of credible other sources https://search.brave.com/search?q=wall+street+journal+buma+fbi+bond but most of them are about his arrest two months ago re Giuliani not Musk or Thiel.
Here is a seven minute video of him talking about his Biden investigation which turned into a Giuliani investigation but his bosses wanted him to stick to Biden only.
Here is a very detailed recent one about about his recent release on $100k bond - it says he is running for Congress as a ‘Resistance’ Democrat in Arizona. No Thiel or Musk mention here.
Here is one about Thiel.
