I follow a lot of influential people on social media sites. But there’s one person in my twitter list who I admire for his sense of humour.

Who he/she is?

He is none other than Mr Elon Musk. He is the CEO of Tesla, founder and CEO of rocket company SpaceX. Mr Musk also heads the brain-chip start-up Neuralink.

How do you know him/her?

• I am an avid follower of his social media posts.
• But actually, I first learned about him from the film ‘Iron Man.’ In fact, the movie’s main character, Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr., is based on Elon Musk’s life.
• Then, to learn more about him, I also read his biography.
• His entrepreneurial spirit and desire to make a difference in the world made his entire life so impressive.

What he/she posts on social media?

• Tesla CEO Elon Musk has often shocked and surprised his followers on social media with his quirky tweets.
• Since Twitter was founded he has written the equivalent of 10 books of tweets or 12,500+ Tweets.

• He is also a vocal proponent of Cryptocurrency usage.

Explain why you follow him/her on social media?

• I follow Elon Musk not because he is one of the most successful and innovative entrepreneurs in history, but he’s also most public about his life.
• Whereas most top executives has a PR team to handle social media accounts, Musk do it all by himself.
• I just love him for his banter and his tweets.

1. What can people do on social media?

People can follow famous celebrities, fashion brands, politicians and scientists on social media. Sites like Facebook and Twitter enable the users to learn and get inspiration from social influencers. Also, people can share their photos with their friends and family using social networks.

2. Do you think older people and younger people will use the same kind of social media software?

Yes, with the expansion of internet, almost everyone uses the same kind of social media tools. Older adults use social media to connect to already-established offline relationships, whereas younger adults are always on a friend finding streak.

3. Do older people spend much time on social media?

Older users primarily use social media for distraction and entertainment – passing the time when bored. Unlike Millennials and younger generations, they still prefer face-to-face interactions. So they spend less time on social media sites.

4. Are non-social media like television and newspapers still useful?

Many people still rely on television and newspapers because of their trustworthiness. While social media is a better platform for the distribution of news – it is cheaper, faster, and has a wider reach, television and newspapers are stronger for the creation of news content; it is where the majority of news stories are originated, well-researched, and published.
