A member of Governor Tim Walz’s administration in Minnesota has been arrested for vandalizing parked Tesla vehicles.
Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, a fiscal policy analyst for the State of Minnesota, was filmed “keying” a number of parked Teslas while out walking his dog.
Authorities arrested Adams for causing around $20,000 worth of damage. Formal charges against him are still pending,
The footage, some of which was posted to social media, shows Adams crossing the street to vandalize the cars. He takes his keys from his pocket and begins scraping lines into the paintwork of the vehicles.
In recent weeks, Governor Tim Walz has publicly criticized Elon Musk and mocked him for a decline in Tesla’s stock price after widespread protests against Musk for his role leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
At a town hall at the beginning of the month, Walz said that people “should demonize” Musk.
“We’re creating a false narrative for them that everybody is super rich and has Lamborghinis and life is easy,” Walz told the crowd, in Ohio.
“But that’s what we’re going to have to figure out in our society about social media and all those things.”
“But I don’t think we should be the party that demonizes someone because they’re able to afford something,” he added.
“What we should demonize is someone like Elon Musk and those people that do that. That’s different.”
