Nick Jonas faces fan backlash over social media post responding to Elon Musk

foxnews.com:

Singer-songwriter Nick Jonas stirred reactions for what many X users interpreted as support for Elon Musk, after posting a picture of the multi-billionaire entrepreneur and incoming DOGE co-chair along with the caption, "Take us to the Year 3000." The apparent play on a 2006 Jonas Brothers hit song came in response to Musk commenting on an older GIF featuring the band rotating a coffee table with the caption "My, how the tables have turned" in reference Musk made to a story about Tesla's success since President-elect Donald Trump's win.

The presumption of support for Musk drew ire from many on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, though Jonas never explicitly voiced support for Musk's ideas. "I hope one day your daughter meets a man who treats her like Elon and the rest of his friends treat women.

Let’s see how supportive you are then," one critic wrote. Another X user posted a screenshot from her device, showing Musk's X account was blocked, but Jonas' response to his tweet was visible. "I’ll have to block you too, sorry," she wrote.

A third commentor demanded that Jonas delete the post "now," writing, "this man is horrible and even if this was meant as just a joke, it’s not funny." Widespread remarks similarly called for Jonas to take down the post or reflect on how his response to Musk impacted his fans.
