In a digital era where social media dominates personal and professional spaces, the right use of these platforms can make the difference between meaningful impact and wasted potential.

Elon Musk: Social Media as a Tool for Innovation

As the CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, and the rebranded X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk has revolutionized industries and redefined communication. Speaking recently at a technology summit, Musk highlighted how social media has evolved into a global marketplace of ideas and solutions.

“Social media is a platform to amplify your voice and showcase your value to the world. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a creator, or an advocate for change, use it to innovate, connect, and solve real-world problems. The key is intentionality—approach it as a tool, not a toy,” Musk advised.

Musk also encouraged users to explore social media’s potential for economic empowerment, pointing out that businesses can now grow without traditional barriers:
“Startups that thrive today often begin online. If you have a product, idea, or skill, social media is your stage to share it with millions. Let your work speak for itself.”

Archbishop Dr. A.M. Jonah: Social Media with a Purpose

Archbishop Jonah’s wisdom focuses on aligning online activity with ethical and spiritual values. In his recent address, captured in a video accompanying this article, he urged individuals to rise above frivolous use of social platforms.

“Social media can either shape your destiny or distract you from it. Use it wisely—not just for entertainment but for education, empowerment, and evangelism. Let your posts and interactions reflect truth, love, and purpose,” he shared passionately.

He further warned about the risks of social media addiction and misinformation, encouraging users to approach platforms with discernment and self-control:
“Do not let social media use you; instead, you must use it to glorify God, serve others, and grow in wisdom.”

A Shared Vision for Responsible and Profitable Use

Both Elon Musk and Archbishop Jonah agree on the transformative power of social media. While Musk emphasizes innovation and entrepreneurship, Jonah calls for ethical engagement and purpose-driven action. Together, their advice offers a balanced roadmap for leveraging social platforms effectively.
