Yahoo Lifestyle Nick Jonas Causes Stir After Seemingly Supporting Elon Musk On Social Media
Social media users are up in arms after Nick Jonas seemingly showed support for Elon Musk during a friendly interaction between the pair online.
On Tuesday, the tech billionaire, 53, reacted to a post on X claiming his company’s profits skyrocketed since President-elect Donald Trump’s November election victory.
“Tesla is up 100% since Donald Trump won!” the post read.
Musk then responded to the post with a GIF of two of the Jonas Brothers — Joe and Kevin — spinning around a table with the caption, “My, how the tables have turned!”
Shortly after, Nick Jonas quote-tweeted Musk’s post with a cheeky reference to the Jonas Brothers’ 2006 hit cover of the song “Year 3000” by the UK band Busted. He captioned his post,“Take us to the Year 3000” alongside a photo of the SpaceX founder.
Nick Jonas’ response quickly garnered attention on X, with many fans expressing disappointment over the Disney alum supposedly co-signing Musk.

The fact that the Elon Musk tweet is still up and you have not once deleted it after Jonas Fans have told you. It’s not hard to delete something Nicholas and make an apology or at least stand up to yourself. @nickjonas

Other X users defended Nick Jonas as some pointed out that his tweet doesn’t necessarily declare his support for the controversial Musk.
Elon Musk shared a gif with the Jonas Brothers in it and Nick Jonas quote tweeted it in a joking way and... this makes tens of thousands of people suddenly think the Jonas Brothers are Republicans? I hate this timeline

I don’t assume that Nick Jonas is a Republican from his tweet. He supported Joe Biden in 2020 and protested an anti-trans bathroom bill in South Carolina. I think because Elon Musk used a GIF with Jonas Brothers, Nick referred to his technology for nostalgia without thinking pic.twitter.com/Ox7oh4nc2z

Nick Jonas being in the hot seat with his fans comes after Musk rocked the boat online when he was appointed by Trump in November to run the newly proposed Department of Government Efficiency alongside Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
