ROSÉ & Bruno Mars - Summary of the Internet – March 30, 2025
Elon Musk is unpopular today.
Hi ! ROSÉ and Bruno Mars broke the internet, and somehow the Sex Pistols are still alive! |

OMG! I can’t with this song. It’s too good.
1. ROSÉ & Bruno Mars – “APT.” Shatters View Records
🔥 BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ and Bruno Mars teamed up for “APT.,” and the internet can’t breathe. The music video hit 6.5 million views in 24 hours, outpacing Lady Gaga’s latest and positioning itself to challenge BTS’s all-time record. With cross-cultural appeal, jaw-dropping visuals, and fanbases colliding, this is a perfect storm of viral momentum.

2. Myanmar Earthquake: Tragedy Meets Global Attention
🔥 A devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar and parts of Thailand, with over 1,700 confirmed dead and rescue efforts racing against time. The tragedy is compounded by Myanmar’s ongoing civil conflict, which is slowing aid and complicating evacuations. Satellite images show entire cities reduced to rubble—this is a humanitarian story that needs amplification.

3. Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ Tariffs Stir Economic Panic
🔥 Trump announced sweeping new tariffs, particularly on auto imports, under a self-declared “Liberation Day” policy—saying he doesn’t care if car prices spike. His message: Buy American or deal with the cost. Naturally, economists, automakers, and consumers are all losing their minds in different directions.
🎯 This is tailor-made for creators in finance, politics, automotive, or anyone who buys stuff (read: all of us). It’s controversial, timely, and sparks instant debate.
✍️ Post Ideas:
TikTok: “What Trump’s tariffs mean for your next car purchase—explained in 30 seconds”

So… this is happening.
Dude. Imagine being protested by 200 cities at once. Not your company. YOU. Elon Musk is living the dream/nightmare where you're so famous, entire nations schedule tantrums just for you. That’s not CEO energy—that’s straight-up Bond villain meets K-pop idol levels of attention. What does that even feel like? Like being a king? A god? A Reddit thread come to life? He’s out here dodging protest signs like they’re dodgeballs while probably tweeting something like “lol.”
Very WTF.
