California ’s DMV has apologized for issuing a license plate some believe is offensive and antisemitic. ‘LOLOCT7’ plate on a Tesla Cybertruck is claimed to glorify the deadly attack on Israel in fall 2023. Cybertruck owner’s son claims plate has been misinterpreted and means grandfather in Tagalog. California ’s DMV has publicly apologized for issuing a license plate that some people claim celebrates Hamas’s brutal attack on Israel in October 2023.
The use of hateful language is not only a clear violation of our policies but also a violation of our core values to proudly serve the public and ensure safe and welcoming roadways.” But a man who wished to remain anonymous, but claims to be the son of the Cybertruck’s owner says the whole thing is a huge misunderstanding.
