The stir began Tuesday morning when Musk shared a GIF featuring the Jonas Brothers turning tables, paired with the caption, "My how the tables have turned." The post celebrated Tesla's recent surge in success, which Musk linked to the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election victory—a move that sparked controversy when Musk publicly aligned himself with the former president.
Nick Jonas then joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), responding with a photo of Musk looking smug and a playful comment: “Take us to the Year 3000.” The remark was a nod to the Jonas Brothers’ 2006 hit song, but fans were quick to criticize.
For many, the show of support didn’t land well. Some expressed their disappointment openly, with one urging, "Delete this." Others were less forgiving, with one harsh comment reading, "I used to pray to God to take your diabetes away."
Fans also called out Jonas for referencing "Year 3000," noting that the song is actually a cover of a track originally performed by British band Busted.
The backlash has been swift, with fans accusing Jonas of aligning himself with Musk’s divisive persona. It’s clear that the star’s playful comment wasn’t received as intended.
While Jonas is known for his lighthearted social media posts, this time, his fans seem to be "Burnin' Up" with frustration. But as the Jonas Brothers once sang, he’s “Only Human” after all.
