A Minnesota state employee intentionally vandalized six cars. That is a crime. They said he caused $20,000 in damage and will have to pay “every penny” to the victims. But this psycho criminal, who works for the state, will have a clean record. And $20,000 for keying six Teslas sounds low—even before you consider everything the owners were put through: the time spent filing reports, arranging repairs, missing work, paying for transportation, and dealing with the stress and inconvenience of having their property deliberately damaged. Restitution should reflect more than a basic repair estimate. But restitution alone is not enough. He should also have been charged with a crime and fired from his job.
And let’s be honest: if a state employee had keyed six cars with Tim Walz bumper stickers, does anyone seriously believe the response would have been a one-day suspension and restitution? Of course not. The punishment certainly would have been harsher, and the media would have treated it as a major national story. Accountability should not depend on who is targeted.
The Brief
- A Minnesota state employee received a one-day suspension for vandalizing six Tesla vehicles, causing $20,000 in damage.
- Dylan Adams, the employee, cited Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s political actions during the 2024 campaign, including a perceived Nazi salute, as his motivation for the vandalism.
- Adams was not charged with a crime; instead, he was offered a diversion program which required him to pay restitution for the damage.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – A Minnesota state employee arrested last year for vandalizing six Tesla vehicles, causing a reported $20,000 in damage, was punished by the state with a single-day suspension, state records show….
In the report, Adams said he was disturbed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s actions during the 2024 campaign, including a perceived Nazi salute during a campaign event. He said he vandalized the Teslas “in hopes the owners would disassociate themselves from Elon Musk and Tesla”…
“We offered diversion as we often do with property damage cases when the person has no record,” a spokesperson said. “Mr. Adams will have to complete the requirements of the program. He will also have to pay every penny in restitution to the victims. If he does not meet those requirements, we will proceed through the criminal legal system process.” READ MORE
