Aptos former adviser Buzz leaves when contract expires and sells APT, shifts to Meta stock meme promotion
Aptos former adviser Buzz, alias BuzzlamicJihad, left the project after his one-year advisory contract expired. He told Decrypt that it was a mutual decision, and the reason he did not renew was that he did not see any further progress on the project, and some plans did not materialize as expected. Aptos did not respond to Decrypt’s request for comment. Buzz also said he had sold his APT tokens. According to Decrypt data, APT has fallen 10.7% since the start of the month, with a market value of about $607 million.
Buzz is now turning the meme-style promotion he previously used for Aptos toward Facebook parent Meta. He said his argument around Aptos had always been based on the project being founded by Libra developers, and Libra was a Facebook-led stablecoin project. Buzz said Meta’s fundamentals are strong, but retail investors are being overlooked, especially noting the company’s recent creation of non-voting Class C shares. He has posted messages such as META looking good here, and said he has moved communications from Telegram to Meta-owned WhatsApp. On the day, Meta shares fell 1.2%, with a market value of about $1.59 trillion, roughly 2,619 times Aptos’s market value.
As of verification, Buzz’s Meta-related actions were still mainly personal social media posts, with no official company response or formal partnership disclosure. Decrypt noted in its report that during the interview period, communication with him was still conducted through Telegram.

Buzz did not renew his one-year advisory contract with Aptos after it expired, and sold his APT holdings, while directly applying the meme-style phrasing previously used for Aptos, such as looking good here, to Meta stock. His public rationale traced the Aptos-Meta connection to the Libra project developers’ background and pointed to the effect of Meta’s recent non-voting Class C shares on retail investors. Aptos did not publicly respond to his departure.
Meta’s current market value is about 2,619 times Aptos’s, and Buzz’s promotional scale has shifted from a crypto project token to a listed company stock; the two differ significantly in float, shareholder structure, and information dissemination channels. As of verification, the related actions were still limited to personal posts and statements about switching communication tools, with no verifiable holdings change or company interaction yet. Monitoring points include Buzz’s subsequent posts and actual trading disclosures, as well as whether Meta or Aptos responds to the related statements.

After a one-year advisory contract expired and was not renewed, the project token was sold and the promotional target shifted from a crypto project to a listed company stock.

The target market-value gap exceeds two thousand times, and the promotion still consists mainly of personal social media posts, with no official company interaction yet.
