Max Sebastian Solomon Arrested for Vandalizing 13 Teslas in Irvine

Irvine resident Max Sebastian Solomon was arrested on Tuesday for felony vandalism after spray-painting 13 Teslas in a local plaza. The suspect was identified after police linked him to a previous incident where he allegedly spat on a Tesla while carrying a restaurant takeout bag. Authorities determined that Solomon vandalized four vehicles on July 17, marking them with the words "Nazi" and "Fascist" in red paint. He returned to the same plaza less than a week later to vandalize nine additional vehicles. Surveillance footage from the Tesla onboard cameras showed Solomon pulling his shirt over his face while spray-painting the cars. While the vandalism may be linked to the general backlash against Tesla CEO Elon Musk, police have not confirmed if Solomon's actions were specifically tied to Musk's political views or his work with the Department of Government Efficiency under the administration. The Irvine Police Department is seeking further information from the public to assist in the investigation.
