The Jonas Brothers are once again under fire after Nick Jonas replied to Elon Musk on X, with many calling him ‘a certified loser’.

Earlier this year, the pop trio sparked outrage for their ‘disrespectful’ postponement of numerous stops on their European tour.

Kevin, Joe, and Nick ‘shifted’ dates to allow them to do other ‘exciting projects’, which left hundreds of fans furious over wasted money.

Now, fans are voicing their disgust as Nick, 32, was accused of supporting controversial billionaire Elon after responding to his post.

The Tesla owner had shared an old gif of the brothers while celebrating that profits were ‘up 100 percent’, adding: ‘My, how the tables have turned! 😂.’

Immediately, fans voiced their disappointment at the SOS singer who has had a dedicated following since rising to fame with his brothers on Disney Channel in the mid 00s.

‘Nick Jonas is a LOSER?!?? Oh what a revelation for a Tuesday night,’ wrote Mike on X as Kat added: ‘Nick Jonas certified loser’.

Along with plenty of fans begging him to delete the post, Cyn agreed: ‘Nick Jonas displaying loser behaviour was not on my 2024 bingo card.’

‘And just like that…. you’ll never have another hit again!’ slammed Dayra as Zosia joked: ‘Jonas Brothers my favourite duo 🤩.’

‘Are you kidding, I didn’t pray for Nick Jonas when he was diagnosed with diabetes for this,’ said Josh Sorbe, a sentiment shared by a lot of fans.

While many were joking about the situation, Delani shared: ‘We’re not just gonna move on from this btw. To be noticeably quiet during the entire election cycle and then tweet something like this?

‘I’ve been a fan since 2005 and was really looking forward to a 20 year anniversary tour but I just cannot give my support to this.’

Musk has repeatedly backed political candidates who are widely considered right to far right, including supporting Donald Trump ahead of his re-election campaign.

He has recently thrown his support behind the Reform party in the UK, posing for pictures with Farage.

According to the Wall Street Journal, in 2022, Musk spent over $50,000,000 (£39,408,200) on funding anti-immigrant and anti-transgender advertisements by a group called Citizens for Sanity.

Fans pointed out that Nick’s own wife, actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, is an immigrant in the US and has previously spoken about that experience in Trump’s America.

In 2018, she told Marie Claire that it was ‘a little scary’ and ‘uncertain’ as she spoke out against Trump’s travel bans and extreme border policies.

‘I try and use my platform to talk about kindness and compassion,’ she added at the time. ‘We as people need to stand up for what we think is right and what we feel is right.’

Some fans did support Nick, saying it was a ‘leap’ to analyse his politics based on one interaction.

‘i feel like y’all are reaching,’ said Lindo. ‘He’s just replying because Elon used a jonas brothers gif, so he quoting using elon’s picture.

‘Now how did we get to him being republican and trumpie based on 1 interaction.’

Nick has not spoken out about the tweet, instead promoting a Times Square gig with his brothers and sharing a cute picture with Priyanka.

Metro has reached out to Nick’s reps for comment.
