Generally if it should be easy to find and you're reading a shitty article, it can be easily found in believable sources.
I'm 99.9% certain the article is talking about ex-FBI agent Johnathan Buma. There are many articles about him, but I wasn't aware of it (been tuning a lot of news out lately, tbh). All details match and he was very recently interviewed by ZDF (significant legit German news organization) for a new investigational documentary about Elon Musk. I posted it in a different comment that has video of some parts of the interview (English with German dubbed over top). There's also a link to the full documentary. I started watching it but haven't finished.
