A fiscal policy analyst for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Dylan Bryan Adams, has been arrested for allegedly causing around $20,000 in damage by vandalizing Teslas. The incident was captured on vehicle surveillance, showing Adams dragging his keys across several Tesla vehicles, stripping off the paint and causing significant damage.
Formal charges against Adams are pending, and the governor has not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter. This incident comes amidst a string of similar attacks on Tesla cars, dealerships, and charging stations across the country, as a form of protest against CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in President Trump’s Department of Environmental Efficiency (DOGE).
In a recent interview, Musk defended Tesla as a peaceful company that has produced great cars and products, emphasizing that the attacks are unwarranted. The situation is still unfolding, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
