Internet provocateur Clavicular has made his first visit to Israel, appearing in a video posted Thursday by Rabbi Yossi Farro in which the rabbi presents him with a custom necklace combining the OpenAI logo with a Star of David.
Farro joked that the gift was "basically ChatGPT mogging David" — a reference to Gen Z internet slang in which "mogging" means decisively outshining or dominating someone, usually in terms of appearance or status. The phrase has become a staple of the "looksmaxxing" online subculture that helped propel Clavicular to internet fame.
The video shows the pair walking around Tel Aviv before Farro presents the pendant. During the conversation, Farro recounts that the two initially went to eat at one restaurant before Clavicular suggested moving after realizing the rabbi, who is Orthodox, could not eat there because it was not kosher.
"It's his first time in Israel," Farro says in the clip, praising the influencer for being considerate of his religious observance.

The appearance is notable given Clavicular's increasingly controversial public profile over the past year.
The influencer, whose real name is Braden Peters, rose to prominence through viral videos centered on "looksmaxxing" — an online subculture obsessed with maximizing physical attractiveness through grooming, exercise and, in some cases, far more extreme practices. His over-the-top persona, unusual vocabulary and deliberately provocative stunts have earned him millions of views across social media.

But Clavicular has also drawn criticism for repeatedly appearing alongside far-right internet personalities.
In January, he was among a group that included streamer Sneako, white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, manosphere influencer Andrew Tate and others at Miami's Vendôme nightclub, where members of the group were filmed singing along to the antisemitic song "Heil Hitler" by rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. The incident sparked widespread condemnation, the nightclub apologized, fired staff members and banned those involved.
Clavicular has also appeared in livestreams and public events with Sneako and Fuentes, whose antisemitic rhetoric has been widely documented by civil rights organizations and news outlets.
