On Tuesday, Musk replied to an article from Tesla Owners Silicon Valley claiming that Tesla’s profits are “up 100 percent” since Trump won the presidential election. He shared a GIF of Nick and his brother Kevin Jonas turning a table, and wrote: “My, how the tables have turned!”

Others called out fans’ reactions and asked for more nuance over a single tweet.
You can think Elon has good ideas and is a visionary AND still disagree with him sometimes same with Trump , They both used to be democrats. Maybe we should all collectively chill and stop being so polarizing 🧘♀️

Musk’s net worth has reportedly grown to $50 billion since the 2024 Presidential Election, according to Bloomberg. It marks the first time Jonas has expressed support for anyone associated with the Trump administration. In 2020, he congratulated Joe Biden on his election.
“YES MR. PRESIDENT ELECT!!!” he tweeted at the time.
He also visited the White House in 2021 and posted a TikTok featuring Biden and his older brothers Joe and Kevin.

Previously, Jonas used his platform to oppose the passing of a 2016 North Carolina law requiring transgender people to use bathrooms matching the sex on their birth certificate, according to The Independent. The policy was backed by Trump at the time.
