Elon Musk's Request to McDonalds 🍔

GM Guys and Gals,

Elon is famously known to be the Dogecoin Daddy and a fanboy of the coin. Recently, Elon Requested McDonald’s to accept Dogecoins - Here’s everything you need to know about it [👇🏻]

Daddy’s Praying for the Son 🙏🏻

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has once again come out as a Dogecoin supporter. After being somewhat less forthcoming with his love for Dogecoin in recent weeks, Musk responded to a series of tweets from Mcdonald’s and ultimately to a question from a DOGE community member.

Here’s what happened. McDonald tweeted “what did I miss” yesterday, prompting Binance’s Twitter account to reply, “A lot of green candles.”

Mcdonald’s then once again showed its love for the crypto community by responding with “wagmi” – an acronym for “we are all gonna make it”, which is often used by the crypto community to build trust and encourage the community not to lose hope. Musk responded with “Oh hi lol.”

On this, a DOGE community member pulled out an old tweet from Musk from January 2022, when the Tesla CEO stated via Twitter that he would eat a Happy Meal on camera on TV if McDonald’s accepted Dogecoin as a means of payment. The Dogecoin community member asked Musk if that offer is still valid, and he responded with “100%.”

Will McDonald’s 🍟 Accept Dogecoin (DOGE)?

McDonald’s did not show any serious reaction to accepting Dogecoin as a payment method, tweeting, “only if Tesla accepts Grimacecoin.” Remarkably, there was no coin called that at the time. Instead, opportunists created the coin within a very short time, which then rose 285,000%.

McDonald’s has yet to respond to Musk’s tweet today. However, it seems more likely that the fast food company simply wants to generate free publicity and engagement with the crypto community via its tweets. Beyond tweets, the multinational corporation has yet to show any aspirations regarding crypto.

Nevertheless, McDonald’s is to some extent a part of the Bitcoin and crypto community. Among Bitcoiners, it is common in times of falling prices to see one’s future – after the harsh price losses – as an employee at McDonald’s.

It’d be great to see the next few steps of McDonalds 🍟

That’s it for the day, Web3Shala 👋
