Following my post on Nvidia’s interim leadership, here’s another thread worth understanding.
How did Israeli defence and intelligence connections enter Nvidia’s corporate structure?
Follow Mellanox.
Its co-founder, Eyal Waldman, previously worked at Elbit on the IAI Lavi fighter project.
A documented connection to Israel’s military industrial complex.
Waldman served in Golani, not Unit 8200.
The Unit 8200 connection comes through another acquisition.
In July 2014, Mellanox acquired Integrity Project.
Its founder, CTO and board chair, Elad Raz, served in Unit 8200.
Its former CEO, Shai Morag, served for ten years as an officer in the same intelligence unit.
Then, in April 2020, Nvidia acquired Mellanox in a transaction valued at approximately $7 billion.
Mellanox brought the networking technology that connects processors and servers across data centres.
Its co-founder and CTO, Michael Kagan, became Nvidia’s CTO in May 2020.
That is a documented route from acquisitions into technical leadership.
Israeli defence experience.
Military intelligence alumni.
Commercial technology.
Then integration into one of the world’s most strategically important computing companies.
These are the connections I’m examining when I discuss MIC–TIC integration.
This was clearly a MIC regime change op.
