Another user on the X platform shared a screenshot from her device, revealing that Musk’s account had been blocked. Surprisingly, Jonas’ response to Musk’s tweet was still visible. A message appeared on the screen stating, “I’ll have to block you too, sorry,” indicating the user’s intention to block the original poster as well. A different commenter urged Jonas to delete the post immediately, emphasizing that the situation was not amusing, regardless of whether it was intended as a joke. Numerous individuals joined in, calling for Jonas to remove the post or at least consider how his interactions with Musk could influence his followers.
Countless X users came to Jonas’ defense, criticizing the detractors for their extreme reactions, interpreting situations in a negative light, and contributing to a culture of cancelation. Surprisingly, even those who were not fond of Elon Musk stepped forward to support him.
A significant figure who is an ally of Trump expressed opposition to a large emergency spending plan, stating firmly, “This bill should not pass.” One user on the X platform shared, “You can admire Elon for his innovative ideas and visionary mindset yet still disagree with him from time to time, just as you can with Trump. Both individuals were once associated with the Democratic party. Perhaps it is time for everyone to take a step back and avoid becoming overly polarized.” Another comment highlighted the criticism as a reason for Trump’s victory in the past, suggesting that individuals are quick to judge and shame others for even the most trivial interactions with Elon Musk. This individual continued, “The left has lost its way and has become irrational.”
Another user’s input added to the conversation, observing, “It is astounding how many people have taken offense to this post. No one was as worked up over Elon engaging with Cenk Uygur or responding to John Fetterman. Have you ever considered that you are behaving similarly to fanatics in a cult?”
Rand Paul made a suggestion to replace Mike Johnson with Elon Musk as the Speaker of the House, indicating a degree of support for Musk’s capabilities.
Sources close to Jonas revealed to the Daily Mail that he is resolute in his stance regarding Elon Musk and does not intend to retract his statements or amplify them further. He believes that many individuals are overreacting to the situation. According to these sources, Jonas is focused on more pressing matters than dealing with online critics regarding what he viewed as a light-hearted and drama-free post.
The sources continued, “Whether one supports him or not, Nick was aiming to be clever rather than making a significant statement or declaration of approval. However, on the internet, any action is met with criticism. This uproar will pass, and Nick has already moved past this supposed controversy.”
