But the son of the car’s owner told KABC news that the personalized plate was not a reference to the Oct. 7 attack but was a reference to the owner, who is a Filipino grandfather. The LOLO in the plates means grandfather in Tagalog and CT refers to the Cybertruck, while 7 represents the owner’s seven children, according to the news station.

Sounds pretty valid...

"Grandpa Cybertruck 7 (grandkids)"

Pretty fucked up the headline claims it does like a matter of fact

It's completely plausible and similar to the ancient meme of the KIDSEXCHANGE sign.

In the photo, the license plate read “LOLOCT7.” LOL is an abbreviation for laugh out loud.

And here I thought it meant lots of love!
