Amdocs stopped funding it, but Martix and the company developing Element are both still made up of ex-Amdocs people. If they are connected to Israeli intelligence, it's not as though they suddenly aren't potential agents just because they stopped being officially funded by Amdocs.

I find it irritating that element's website promotes their origins as the creators of matrix but doesnt anywhere actually give names that could be researched. Yes i could get the directors details from Companies House but frankly its just easier for me to move on and not use their software.

If you want to do a background check, you'll probably want to start with Matthew Hodgson.

He is very open and communicative about his role in Matrix, so I would be surprised if you didn't find him with just a little bit of reading/searching.

Most of the names you can find by looking at the Git history of Element's repos - but that seems a bit stalkerish to people that have private lives to me.
