Singer-songwriter Nick Jonas stirred reactions for what many X customers interpreted as assist for Elon Musk, after posting an image of the multi-billionaire entrepreneur and incoming DOGE co-chair together with the caption, “Take us to the Year 3000.”
The obvious play on a 2006 Jonas Brothers hit tune got here in response to Musk commenting on an older GIF that includes the band rotating a espresso desk with the caption “My, how the tables have turned” in reference Musk made to a narrative about Tesla’s success since President-elect Donald Trump’s win.
The presumption of assist for Musk drew ire from many on the X platform, previously often called Twitter, although Jonas by no means explicitly voiced assist for Musk’s concepts.
“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.
One other X person posted a screenshot from her machine, exhibiting Musk’s X account was blocked, however Jonas’ response to his tweet was seen.
“I’ll have to block you too, sorry,” she wrote.
A 3rd commentator demanded that Jonas delete the put up “now,” writing, “This man is horrible and even if this was meant as just a joke, it’s not funny.”
Widespread remarks equally known as for Jonas to take down the put up or replicate on how his response to Musk impacted his followers.
An awesome variety of X customers rushed to Jonas’ protection, slamming the critics for overreacting, studying between the strains, and feeding into cancel tradition. Even some who dislike Elon Musk got here to his protection.
One X person 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. Maybe we should all collectively chill and stop being so polarizing.”
One other commenter cited the wave of criticism as proof of “why Trump won.”
“They’ll try to mob and guilt you for something as simple as tweeting at Elon. The left is so far gone and out of their minds,” they added.
A 3rd chimed in with, “Amazing how many people are legit offended by this post. No one got emotional about Elon talking to Cenk Uygur, or replying to John Fetterman. Do y’all ever consider that you act a lot like zealots in a cult?”
Sources near Jonas reportedly instructed the Day by day Mail, “Nick is not going to waver from his post on Elon Musk nor will he double down, and doesn’t plan on deleting it. He thinks many are taking things a little overboard in how they are reacting to it all… For Nick, there are a lot more important things to worry about than dealing with online trolls over what he thought was a fun and non-drama filled post.”
“Support or not, Nick was trying to be clever over making some type of statement or announcement of support, but on the internet, you can’t do anything without getting attacked. This will pass and Nick has already moved on from whatever controversy this somehow has made.”
Fox Information Digital reached out to a consultant for Jonas for remark however didn’t obtain a response in time for publication.
