Elon Musk, McDonald’s and Dogecoin payments
Tesla, Spacex and Twitter CEO Elon Musk has reaffirmed his commitment to eat a McDonald’s Happy Meal on TV if the fast food giant starts accepting dogecoin (DOGE) payments.
It’s been a year since the billionaire tweeted his offer on January 25, 2022. However, McDonald’s did not accept his offer at the time. “Only if Tesla accepts grimacecoin,” the fast food corporation’s Twitter account responded. Grimace is a purple fluffy character who accompanies Ronald McDonald in McDonaldland’s commercials.
The topic came up again this week when Twitter user Dogedesigner asked Musk on Thursday if his offer was still open. The Tesla boss responded with the 100 emoji, indicating that he is still upholding the offer from him.
Following the interaction between McDonald’s Twitter account and Musk in January last year, grimacecoin (GRIMACE) was launched, a cryptographic token that has nothing to do with either McDonald’s or Musk. At the time of writing, each grimacecoin is trading at $0.5879.
Musk, known in the crypto meme community as Dogefather, has been a longtime supporter of dogecoin. His electric car company, Tesla, currently accepts DOGE for some merchandise, and Musk has said Spacex will follow suit. Also, his Boring Company accepts DOGE payments for some trips.
The billionaire previously revealed that he personally owns bitcoin, ether, and dogecoin. He said in June last year that he will continue to buy and support DOGE. In July, he confirmed that Tesla has not sold any DOGE, and in November he said: “Dogecoin to the Moon.”
