Minnesota Governor Tim Walz finds himself embroiled in controversy after Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, a fiscal policy analyst within his administration, was arrested for vandalizing Tesla vehicles. Surveillance footage clearly captures Adams, leash in hand and dog by his side, allegedly using his keys carve something on a parked Teslas.
In other instances, he is captured dragging his keys across the body of other Teslas, resulting in damages exceeding $20,000. The incident raises critical questions about Walz’s accountability and potential legal exposure, given his recent outspoken criticism of Elon Musk and Tesla.
Other surveillance videos, shared by the crime-watch account @CrimeWatchMpls on X, are striking. Adams, a state employee entrusted with shaping fiscal policy, is allegedly shown methodically keying Teslas parked in a quiet Minnesota neighborhood. The footage displays Adams calmly crossing streets to approach vehicles specifically targeted for damage, systematically scratching their paint jobs—acts captured vividly enough to prompt swift arrest by local authorities.
Walz’s fiery public rhetoric against Elon Musk and Tesla in recent weeks provides troubling context. Critics argue the governor’s frequent anti-Tesla speeches could have fostered a workplace culture in which Adams felt emboldened to translate political animosity into direct criminal action.
