Nick Jonas found himself at the center of a social media firestorm following an unexpected exchange with tech mogul Elon Musk on December 17. The 32-year-old singer’s playful reply to Musk’s tweet ignited a heated debate among fans.
Musk had shared a Jonas Brothers GIF with the caption, “My, how the tables have turned!” celebrating Tesla’s success after Donald Trump’s election. In response, Jonas retweeted the post with a cheeky comment: “Take us to the Year 3000,” along with a smiling photo of Musk. The interaction quickly sparked controversy due to Musk’s political ties and polarizing views.
Many fans questioned Jonas’ intentions, with some speculating that he was endorsing Musk or his controversial political connections.
One user wrote, “Delete this,” while another urged, “Be better, Nick,” criticizing Musk’s alleged influence over vulnerable groups. Fans even tagged Nick’s wife, Priyanka Chopra, questioning her involvement in his social media behavior.
However, not all reactions were negative. A supporter welcomed Jonas, saying, “Welcome aboard, Nick!” Another chimed in, “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 polarising.”
The exchange left fans divided, with some calling for more careful social media interactions from celebrities.
