Nick Jonas slammed after social media post that fans interpret as support for Elon Musk

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 commentator 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.An overwhelming number of X users rushed to Jonas’ defense, slamming the critics for overreacting, reading between the lines, and feeding into cancel culture.

Even some who dislike Elon Musk came to his defense.One X user wrote, “You can think Elon has good ideas and is a visionary AND still disagree with him sometimes same with Trump., They both used to be Democrats.
