A social media personality who became famous for using jokes and memes to boost a crypto project has quit his job — and is now aiming his marketing machine at one of the world's biggest companies.

Who is Buzz? The influencer, known online as BuzzlamicJihad (or just "Buzz"), became famous in early 2025. Using a flood of memes and catchphrases like "Aptos lookin' good here," he helped drive up the value of Aptos, a crypto project. A token called APT is the digital coin tied to that project.

What is a 'token'? A token is simply a digital coin that can be bought and sold. When lots of people get excited and buy, the price tends to rise.

Buzz officially joined Aptos as an advisor in October 2025. But a year later, his contract ended and neither side chose to renew it. He called the split "mutual" and says he has sold all his APT.

Here are the key numbers:

Why Meta? Buzz says Facebook's parent company has strong "fundamentals" (the real financial health of a business, like profits and growth). He also argues that everyday small investors — called retail investors — have been "forgotten," especially after Meta created new shares with no voting power.

Is this realistic? A similar story happened with "Roaring Kitty," who rallied online crowds behind GameStop stock in 2021, causing its price to soar. But moving a company worth over a trillion dollars is far harder than nudging a small crypto token.

Bottom line: Buzz is betting his meme-powered influence can sway one of the largest companies on earth. Given the enormous size difference, success is far from guaranteed.
