The Minnesota state employee who went on a deranged vandalism spree against six Teslas, causing over $20,000 in damage because he “hates Elon Musk,” has now been rewarded with a promotion and a pay raise.
In Minnesota, destroying private property out of political hatred for a Trump-supporting billionaire doesn’t get you fired. It gets you a bump up the ladder and more of your neighbors’ tax dollars in your pocket.
Dylan Bryan Adams, a fiscal policy analyst with the Minnesota Department of Human Services under Governor Tim Walz, was caught on camera keying Teslas across the Twin Cities in early 2025. Police identified him quickly.
The damage totaled upwards of $21,000. He admitted to investigators that his little crime spree was motivated by his seething hatred for Elon Musk.
