Lai Wei wanted Elon Musk to see something.
“Ordered my plates today, I hope DMV approves this,” Wei replied to a November X post from Musk. He attached a photo of his application. “DOGE.GOV coming!”
A few months later, Wei was back in Musk’s replies with new photographic proof: freshly printed DOGEGOV aluminum.
“New plate arrived just in time. LFG.”
The Musk crowd, especially Tesla owners, loves a vanity plate. It’s a phenomenon from San Francisco to New Zealand. Team Tesla was known to use those plates to virtue-signal the superiority of its gas-free vehicles: BYBYGAS, CO2FREE, and NO PETRO have all been spotted in the wild.
