Use setAccountData . You will need to get player's account. Then to load use getAccountData. If you don't know how to make it give a look on the wiki https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetAccountData

function onPlayerQuit ( ) 
      local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source ) 
      if ( playeraccount ) and not isGuestAccount ( playeraccount ) then  
            local vip = getElementData(source,"VIP") == true then 
            setAccountData ( playeraccount, "VIP", true ) 
      end 
end 
  
function onPlayerLogin (_, playeraccount ) 
      if ( playeraccount ) then 
            local playermoney = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "VIP" ) 
            if ( vip ) then 
                  setElementData ( source,"VIP") 
            end 
      end 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerQuit ) 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerLogin", getRootElement ( ), onPlayerLogin )

I don't think that setting account data on exit based on account data is the solution.

Explanation: accountData is always saved AUTOMATICALLY. It's being saved in internal.db where it is safe and is stored by account

Here is my version, I commented all of it.

P.S: Put it in your code editor, the text is very disordered here in the Code Box.

function getPlayerFromPartialName(who) --Useful Function | Author: TAPL 
    local who = who and who:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""):lower() or nil 
    if who then 
        for _, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            local name_ = getPlayerName(player):gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""):lower() 
            if name_:find(who, 1, true) then 
                return player 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function vip(thePlayer, cmd, target) 
      if isElement(thePlayer) then --Check if the player who triggered the function exists (not really useful, just to hesitate errors) 
            if (target ~= "") then --Check if the target string isn't empty 
                  local target = getPlayerFromPartialName(target) --Call the function "getPlayerFromPartialName" to get the target element from the name and store it as the var target 
                  if isElement(target) then --Check if the element "target" exists 
                        local account = getPlayerAccount(target) --Get the target account 
                        if (getAccountData(account, "vip") == false) then --If he is not a vip, then... (vip == false) 
                              setAccountData(account, "vip", true) --Set his VIP status 
                              outputChatBox("Added "..getPlayerName(target):gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "").." as VIP", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255) --Output to thePlayer's chat 
                        elseif (getAccountData(account, "vip") == true) then --If he is a vip, then... (vip == true) 
                              setAccountData(account, "vip", false) --Set his VIP status 
                              outputChatBox("Removed "..getPlayerName(target):gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "").." as VIP", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255) --Output to thePlayer's chat 
                        end 
  
                        --The code above makes it so you can use only one command for ADDING and REMOVING 
                  end 
            end 
      end 
end 
addCommandHandler("avip", vip) --Add the command 

You shall chose the one you like
