Nick Jonas, the heartthrob-turned-tweet-dropper, has shaken up the internet once again. This time, it’s not because of a soulful serenade or a perfectly gelled curl. Nope, it’s because he decided to cozy up to Elon Musk on Twitter/X (or whatever we’re calling it these days).
So, here’s the tea: Elon, the Tesla overlord and part-time meme enthusiast, decided to sprinkle some nostalgia on his timeline. He reposted a Jonas Brothers GIF from their iconic skit, featuring Nick and Kevin flipping a table as Joe strolls in to deliver the unforgettable line, “Oh, how the tables have turned.” (Seriously, that GIF deserves its own Grammy for dramatic flair.)
Elon captioned it, “My, how the tables have turned! 😂” because even billionaires love a good throwback moment. But then—brace yourselves—Nick Jonas saw it. Not only did he see it, but he also QUOTED it, replying with, “Take us to the Year 3000,” and a picture of Elon pointing dramatically.
Cue the internet’s collective record scratch moment. Fans didn’t exactly take this as a harmless joke. Instead, they leaped into the comments faster than a Tesla in Ludicrous Mode.
“DELETE THIS,” one fan demanded, while another chimed in with, “Nick, don’t make me block you. I’ll do it.” (And we believe them; fandoms are scary.)
Some fans, though, attempted to find deeper meaning in Nick’s Year 3000 shoutout. “Maybe he’s saying he wants to escape to the future because the present is a dumpster fire,” one hopeful fan theorized, adding, “I mean, he was home-schooled, so let’s give him some slack.” (Home-school shade? Really?)
Meanwhile, critics couldn’t help but note Elon’s current alignment with a certain former president, which only poured gasoline on the drama fire. Nick’s timing? Questionable. The backlash? Swift. The memes? Chef’s kiss.
In the midst of this chaos, the Jonas Brothers announced they’d be performing for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest, celebrating their 20th anniversary. So, if 2025 starts with Nick, Kevin, and Joe belting out classics like “Burnin’ Up,” let’s hope Nick keeps the social media shoutouts in check. Stick to singing, Nick—we love you, but the internet is unforgiving!
Take us to the Year 3000. https://t.co/vk0sdBhrXS pic.twitter.com/CSG7ItCmES
