A witty tweet by Israeli screenwriter Resheff Levi sparked international attention and caught the eye of X owner Elon Musk, quickly going viral across the global platform.
Levi, a writer for the satirical TV show Eretz Nehederet, posted a humorous take on the recent tech scandal surrounding Nvidia, writing: "Embarrassment in Israel: None of the former Nvidia CEO's mistresses are Mossad agents." The concise quip, written in Hebrew and translated by users worldwide, amassed over a million views, tens of thousands of likes, and widespread engagement within hours.
Elon Musk Weighs In
The plot thickened when tech billionaire Elon Musk noticed the Israeli screenwriter's post and replied with a laughing-to-tears emoji. Musk's brief reaction generated massive traction of its own, drawing over 421,000 views and thousands of likes in a short span.
Users in Israel and beyond shared screenshots of the viral exchange, celebrating how a local comedic punchline made its way directly to the tech mogul's feed. Levi's joke played on international reports regarding Nvidia, where a woman linked to the former CEO faced scrutiny over suspected espionage involving China.
The inspiration behind the viral post stems from a major tech industry shakeup involving Nvidia's leadership. Jensen Huang, the founder and long-time head of the chip giant, stepped down following reports regarding romantic relationships outside of marriage, including ties to an individual connected to a Chinese business investigation.
