Nick Jonas is probably everyone’s favorite JoBro. At least he was my favorite JoBro, before this week. Nick is the cute one, he’s the one who married a nice Indian girl (Priyanka Chopra), and the one who has the best voice? In general, I’ve always considered Nick to be pretty unproblematic, especially for a guy who got his start in the music industry as a teen and managed to carve out a really great pop career in a boy-group and a solo artist. So why does this feel like an obituary? Because people are canceling the f–k out of Nick Jonas this week. He made the mistake of revealing his support of Elon Musk?? First, Elon tweeted this:
My, how the tables have turned! 😂 https://t.co/Q3oEVdy1AE pic.twitter.com/FHpYymhlFz
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 17, 2024
Then Nick quote-tweeted with this:
Take us to the Year 3000. https://t.co/vk0sdBhrXS pic.twitter.com/CSG7ItCmES

It just feels like the straw that broke the camel’s back. For weeks now, we’ve been watching various politicians, CEOs and journalists suck up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. And all we asked was that celebrities just keep their g–damn mouths shut and/or not openly capitulate to these f–kers. And here’s Nick Jonas, openly supporting Musk for no g–damn reason. It’s just a reminder though – the Jonas Brothers were always Republican-coded. Joe tried to marry a much-younger woman and turn her into a tradwife (and he freaked out when she spread her wings). Kevin comes across as very politically and socially conservative. We thought Nick was the good one, but maybe… not so much.

I’m not surprised by this at all. I’ve always felt that the Jonas Brothers were conservative.
Right? Weren’t these the same guys that wore purity rings or whatever?
Nick Jonas is fully the profile of a dumpf supporter. This isn’t surprising at all? Admittedly, I haven’t followed them at all and don’t know much about Priyanka, but we know better by now than to assume an immigrant identifies with other immigrants.
They were raised by very conservative parents, Kevin is a Trumper… this absolutely tracks.
I’m surprised by the amount of people being surprised by this.
Same. And honesty I don’t see much “support” in what he tweeted. He made a play on another Jonas Brothers song, in response to Elon’s post. He wasn’t talking policy.
Yeah, as a fan, it was moderately disappointing. Kind of funny to watch in real time, ngl.
It’s entirely possible that he only saw a chance to make a referential joke with a fellow famous/rich person and wasn’t thinking at all about how his main fan demographics maybe wouldn’t be into it. And that’s also honestly kind of disappointing in its own way, even just from a perspective of “you’ve been trained in PR you should know better”.
Also, yeah, everyone thought it would be Kevin who stuck his foot in his mouth in this way, that it was Nick was pretty surprising. He’s usually more savvy about this sort of thing.
You can’t fix stupid and his is really showing.
Take us to 3000? Bitch what? He can’t even take us around the block without someone being trapped and burning up in his death mobiles. And his spaceships keep exploding.
Dumb rich white boys tickling each others taints.
Theyre emboldened bc they think trump winning again means that everyone is on board. The media bs about it being a landslide (which it wasn’t) makes ppl think its ok to let the ahole/racist flag fly
And his wife Priyanka is the Republican version of an Indian person, with her staunch support of (and ties with) Narendra Modi (BJP Hindutva Islamophobic prime minister)
Oh, lord…
Can the biggest mango supporters be the first to go? Muskrats safety record is terrible. These celebrities suddenly open throat supporting mango are not going to have fans without disposable income soon. How wealthy do these people think they are when mango crashes the economy?
Is Katy Perry next? I feel like she already did that with some previous LA mayor race?
@Meg As much as it pains me to defend Katy Perry, I will in this one case. Katy Perry went pretty public with Kamala Harris. It was the 11th hour when KH had momentum so it may have been self serving but she did put it out there. KP strikes me as the type that will go whichever way the wind is blowing in her small bubble.
Doesn’t Nick’s wife come from one of the richest families in India? They are the 1%. Of course he likes Elon.
Yes. And they’re big supporters of Indian PM Modi. He was even invited to the wedding and they posed for pictures with him. Modi is the Trump of India. He’s spent almost a decade using brutal military forces against Muslim Indian citizens, including putting an entire province under martial law, cutting off power and internet, jailing journalists, and letting Indian soldiers routinely blind children by firing rubber bullets directly at their faces.
Yeah. Not surprised one bit that her husband is an Elon fanboy.
He has a right to his own opinion just like everyone else does.
And we have the right to despise him for it. See how simple that is?
Why? Because he has a different opinion? That’s not a healthy way to live your life but if you want to keep it simple, knock yourself out.
I agree with you. I despise him for it as well. I’ve literally cut out all friends and family that support the orange turd. and all his cronies.
I can’t have any relationships with people who are so clearly delusional. I’m much happier with them out of my life. Wish I would have done it sooner.
Don’t sleep on Claim to Fame…Franklin’s where it’s at.
Because he’s an a-hole, just like Musk and Trump? Or he wants a government job?
Ok but why not the same criticism for Nacho Figueras? He’s constantly re-tweeting Elon, as well as the far-right President of Argentina.
Neither Argentina’s economy nor their politics can be painted w the same brush as maga/trump vs small l liberals in the US.
It’s apples and oranges to say support for Milei equals support for trump.
A trump supporter is automatically ignoring human rights by default.
A Milei supporter is someone who has seen decades of far right to far left politicians loot a nation and enrich themselves and their cronies at the expense of literally everyone else. Milei was virtually the only choice in the last election and so far he’s reduced inflation a lot. (Have lived in Argentina for 2 years.) I can’t defend Nacho’s fanboying of Musk but Milei is far smarter than trump and while crazy/socially irresponsible (dog clones, “tantra,” weird sister relationship, Zionist tendencies bc the Jews are powerful and numerous in Arg), he is doing what he said he would do wrt the economy.
I don’t fault Nacho for his Milei support.
Nacho doesn’t have Jonas level of fame, but I don’t hear anyone defending him or his retweets either.
At this point, are we really supposed to be surprised…? At the end of the day, he (and the other Jonas brothers) are still rich, white men.
