All eyes are on the United States and Elon Musk’s first steps in Donald Trump’s government. Even in France, we are interested in what is happening across the Atlantic. In Deux-Sèvres, a 76-year-old man had to watch the inauguration ceremony with an angry eye, for the simple reason that he hates Elon Musk and recently expressed it in a way… particular. This Monday, January 20, reports France Bleu, he was arrested for scratching two Tesla electric cars, the American billionaire’s brand.
The events occurred in the parking lot of Niort hospital two months apart. The first car was scratched on November 15, a few days after Donald Trump’s victory in the American presidential election. The second was vandalized more recently, on January 14. An investigation was then opened and the police had no difficulty in tracing the septuagenarian.
Arrested and placed in police custody
-The man was therefore arrested on Monday and was taken into police custody. The Niort police questioned him and he immediately confessed to the facts, simply explaining that he “didn’t appreciate Elon Musk and everything he stood for”relays France Bleu again. The septuagenarian did not spend much time at the police station and was released after his custody. However, he emerged with a summons to appear in court, for a criminal order, which must be held on November 10, 2025.
