The singer sent fans into a tizzy with his response to Musk after the X owner used a GIF of the Jonas Brothers in a boastful tweet.

Singer Nick Jonas sparked backlash from fans after cozying up to billionaire Elon Musk after the X owner used a GIF of the Jonas Brothers in a boastful tweet about Tesla's stock performance.

Tesla shares surged to an all-time high last week, surpassing their previous record set in 2021. The stock closed at $424.77, surpassing its former peak of $409.97 on November 4, 2021, by around $15. Tesla’s market value has increased by approximately 71% this year, with nearly all of those gains occurring since President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory early last month.


It all began after X account dedicated to "amplifying" Musk's work shared a screenshot of an older article suggesting Musk's association with Trump would send the company into decline.

The post included the following caption:

"Wait.... everyone thought Elon Musk was destroying the Brand of [Tesla] and he shouldn't be involved in politics. Tesla is up 100% since Donald Trump won!"

You can see the post below.

A gleeful Musk shared the post, saying, "My, how the tables have turned!" above a GIF of the Jonas Brothers quite literally turning a table around.

And things got iffy after Jonas quote-tweeted Musk.

His post included a picture of Musk pointing his finger, wearing a smug expression, and added the caption "Take us to the Year 3000" — a nod to the Jonas Brothers' 2006 cover of "Year 3000," originally recorded by the British boy band Busted in 2003.

You can see his post below.

Many saw Jonas' post as an endorsement of Musk—and the backlash came hard and fast.



Jonas has not responded to the criticism but if his tweet is a tacit endorsement, then Musk has another backer as he prepares to take a lead role in the second Trump administration.

Musk's new role as co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) grants him influence over federal agencies' budgets, staffing, and the ability to advocate for the removal of troublesome regulations. During a Tesla earnings call in October, Musk stated that he planned to use his influence with Trump to establish a “federal approval process for autonomous vehicles.”

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
