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
