Singer Nick Jonas found himself at the center of controversy on Wednesday following a post on X (formerly Twitter) that many interpreted as showing support for Elon Musk. Jonas shared a photo of Musk alongside the caption “Take us to the Year 3000,” seemingly in response to a tweet from Musk featuring an old GIF of the Jonas Brothers rotating a coffee table.
The post quickly ignited a firestorm of criticism from fans who expressed disappointment in the musician’s apparent endorsement of the often-polarizing figure.
“Nick stop this we all prayed for you in social studies class when you announced your diabetes in the middle of the day,” one user wrote. Another chimed in, “Let me go see what ‘unproblematic i stay out of the way’ Kevin Jonas is up to.”
“Tweeting at Elon Musk is definitely a choice,” a third user shared.
Some fans defended Jonas,suggesting his post may have been misinterpreted. ”Am I the only one who still has faith in him and believes he meant ‘take us to the year 3000’ as a ‘I don’t wanna be here,I rather escape those dark times?'” one fan wrote. “I mean he was home-schooled.”
Jonas’ situation highlights the intense scrutiny celebrities face on social media,where even seemingly innocuous posts can spark heated debates and backlash.

Though, not everyone has had a positive experience with the Tesla CEO. *Saturday Night Live* cast member Chloe Fineman revealed a less than favorable encounter with Musk during his time hosting the show. In a now-deleted TikTok, Fineman shared that Musk’s lack of reaction to her sketch left her in tears. “You made me, Chloe Fineman, burst into tears because I stayed up late writing a sketch,” she recalled.”I was so excited, I came in, I asked if you had any questions and you stared at me like you were firing me from Tesla and were like, ‘It’s not funny.’” Fineman went on to describe how Musk continued to critique her work, flipping through the pages of her script and stating, “I didn’t laugh once, not one time.”
