After building an off-road wheelchair for his wife, Nelson started a business in 2020 to build and sell the vehicle to the general public.[6][7]
In November 2023 Nelson, together with Dbrand, sued Casetify due to plagiarism of their "teardown" case designs. The cases show a picture of the internal components of the device they are designed to fit. The original designs included unique Easter eggs which also appeared on the cases made by Casetify.[8][9][10] After Nelson published a video that compares his cases to those made by Casetify, Casetify pulled their cases from their website.[11]
In 2024, Nelson put the "bulletproof" claims of the Tesla Cybertruck to the test and found out that while handgun rounds were stopped, various faster rounds would penetrate the vehicle.[12] In March 2025, he tested the strength of the frame of the vehicle. While it was found to be stronger than expected, he concluded that a vehicle with a steel frame is a better option as it will bend when over-stressed instead of breaking without warning.[13]
Nelson owns a Cybertruck which he considers a part of his business. In late 2024, the vehicle caused one of his sponsors to decline featuring in a video due to negative associations with the CEO of the manufacturer of the vehicle, Elon Musk. Nelson became concerned about being seen as supportive of Musk's controversial statements and considered selling the vehicle.[14][15] In March 2025, Nelson removed his company logo from the vehicle and stated he plans to sell it later that year.[16]
In February 2025, Nelson clashed with Musk on social media, criticizing Musk's political activity and treatment of his children. Musk responded by saying "Jerry is an utter liar. I have always paid extremely generous child support and without any coercion to do so".[17][18]
