(DC Pundit) – While Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is busy palling around with climate zealots and railing against billionaires like Elon Musk, apparently his underlings are out doing the dirty work — quite literally.
Dylan Bryan Adams, a 33-year-old fiscal policy analyst working under the Walz administration, found himself in handcuffs recently after being caught on camera allegedly vandalizing Teslas while taking his dog out for a stroll. You read that right — this wasn’t a one-time lapse in judgment. According to reports, Adams was repeatedly seen scratching the paint off multiple Teslas with his keys, as if he were auditioning for a low-budget remake of Mean Girls: Suburban Edition.
According to the Daily Mail, “A member of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s administration has been repeatedly caught on camera allegedly vandalizing parked Tesla vehicles with his keys while out walking his dog. Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, a fiscal policy analyst for the State of Minnesota, was captured on vehicle surveillance footage allegedly dragging a key across the exteriors of several Teslas, stripping paint and causing thousands of dollars in damage. Authorities reportedly arrested Adams on suspicion of causing an estimated $20,000 in damage, with formal charges still pending, according to the Minnesota-based crime watch account @CrimeWatchMpls on X. Disturbing surveillance videos showed Adams allegedly approaching the vehicles from across the street, leash in one hand, while pulling his keys from his pocket with the other.”
Ah yes, the modern public servant: walking the dog with one hand, destroying private property with the other.

The timing here is a bit hard to ignore. For weeks now, Governor Walz has been playing the part of Tesla-hater-in-chief, pandering to far-left activists by trashing Elon Musk and his companies any chance he gets. And sure, it’s all fun and games until someone on your payroll decides to take those talking points and translate them into action — allegedly.
After all, if the guy at the top is repeatedly vilifying the world’s most prominent electric vehicle maker, why wouldn’t some overzealous mid-level employee think it’s fine to start vandalizing cars like it’s his weekend hobby?
The videos making the rounds on social media are something else. Adams — who clearly didn’t realize Teslas have some of the best surveillance systems on the market — appears in the clips calmly strolling by, yanking out his keys, and casually dragging them along the vehicles’ exteriors. It’s the kind of behavior you’d expect from a bored teenager trying to look cool in front of his friends, not a supposedly well-adjusted adult with a government paycheck and retirement plan.
To be clear, Adams hasn’t yet been officially charged, but the footage and eyewitness accounts aren’t doing him any favors. And let’s not pretend this is just about one guy having a bad day. This is what happens when leaders fan the flames of resentment toward successful companies and entrepreneurs for political brownie points.
Tesla, despite the left’s newfound hatred for it, employs tens of thousands of people, produces American-made vehicles, and has been a driving force behind innovation in the electric vehicle market. But because Elon Musk won’t fall in line with their groupthink and has the audacity to allow free speech on X, he’s become public enemy number one.
So here we are. A state employee allegedly keying American cars, made by a company that once received praise from Democrats, all because the man behind it committed the unthinkable crime of believing people should be allowed to speak freely.
If this is the kind of behavior Minnesota’s leadership is inspiring, maybe it’s time for voters to start throwing them out of office — metaphorically, of course.
