Nick Jonas faces backlash for Musk tweet

Nick Jonas faced criticism on Wednesday for a social media post that seemed to support Elon Musk. Jonas shared a photo of Musk on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “Take us to the Year 3000.”

This was in response to Musk sharing an old GIF of the Jonas Brothers rotating a coffee table.

Musk had captioned it with, “The tables have turned,” referring to a report on Tesla’s alleged 100% increase since Donald Trump’s election win.

Many comments condemned Jonas for apparently endorsing Musk.

Fans expressed discontent with messages like, “Nick stop this we all prayed for you in social studies class when you announced your diabetes in the middle of the day,” and “Let me go see what ‘unproblematic i stay out of the way’ Kevin Jonas is up to.” Another sarcastically noted, “Tweeting at Elon Musk is definitely a choice.”

Some fans thought Jonas’s tweet might have been misinterpreted.

One user wrote, “Am I the only one who still has faith in him and believes he meant ‘take us to the year 3000’ as a ‘I don’t wanna be here, I rather escape these dark times’?”

Jonas joins celebrities who have shown interest in Musk’s work.

Khloé Kardashian recently announced her upcoming podcast, “Khloé in Wonderland,” set to debut on X on January 8. It will feature conversations with various guests.

However, some public figures have criticized Musk. “Saturday Night Live” cast member Chloe Fineman shared a now-deleted TikTok video about her negative experience with Musk during his hosting gig on the show. She said Musk made her cry after harshly critiquing a sketch she had written.

Musk continues to be a polarizing figure, drawing both support and criticism from the public and celebrities. Despite the backlash, a source said Jonas does not plan to delete the tweet. The controversy comes after Jonas celebrated his sixth wedding anniversary with wife Priyanka Chopra.

They got married in 2018 and welcomed daughter Malti Marie. To mark the milestone, Jonas shared a flirty Instagram post with never-before-seen family photos.
