Nick Jonas found himself in a social media storm after an unexpected exchange with tech mogul Elon Musk.
On Tuesday, Dec. 17, the 32-year-old singer’s response to a tweet by the SpaceX CEO, 53, sent fans into a frenzy.
Musk shared a GIF of the Jonas Brothers with the caption, “My, how the tables have turned!” Celebrating Tesla’s growing success after the election of Donald Trump. Nick was amused by the tweet, retweeting it with a cheeky reply: “Take us to the year 3000,” alongside a picture of a smiling Musk.
The conversation quickly sparked controversy, as Musk’s political connections and polarizing views led some fans to question Nick’s intentions. With Musk’s ties to former President Trump and the tech mogul’s role in government, fans wondered if Jonas was validating the statistics.
“Delete it,” one user wrote, while others called out the singer for supporting someone they consider controversial. “Be better, Nick,” one fan urged, criticizing Musk’s alleged influence over vulnerable groups. Others tagged Nick’s wife Priyanka Chopra and questioned her role in his social media behavior.
But, of course, not everyone was worried. “Welcome aboard, Nick!” One user exclaimed.
Another said, “You can think Alvin has good ideas and is a visionary and still disagree sometimes. Same with Trump. They both used to be Democrats. Maybe we all do.” should cool down collectively and stop being so polarized.”
