Elon Musk Renews His Dogecoin Offer to McDonald&#8217;s

A year ago, Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla, launched a big challenge to McDonald’s.

At the time, the influence of the whimsical and charismatic entrepreneur was on the rise. He had nearly 72 million followers on the social network Twitter.

The challenge was to prompt the fast-food chain to accept the dogecoin cryptocurrency, of which Musk is an evangelist, as a means of payment in its restaurants.

In return Musk offered the burger giant a huge advertisement: The Techno King, as he’s known at Tesla, proposed to eat a McDonald’s burger live on television.

“I will eat a happy meal on tv if @McDonalds accepts Dogecoin,” Must wrote on Twitter on Jan.25, 2022.

McDonald’s did not respond to the billionaire’s proposal.

Musk Renews His Offer

A year later Musk has just renewed his offer. It all started with a tweet from the Big Mac manufacturer, its first in a long time.

“What did i miss,” the official account of McDonald’s posted on Twitter on Jan. 26.

“Oh hi lol,” Musk responded.

It was then that the user @cb_doge, who presents himself as a graphics designer at Dogecoin Foundation, asked the billionaire if his offer made to McDonald’s a year ago was still valid.

“Is this offer still open?” the user asked.

Musk did not hesitate to say yes, it was still on the table.

“💯,” the billionaire said.

In a sign of the excitement surrounding this topic, Musk’s response has already been shared more than 625,000 times at last check.

Will McDonald’s Accept Dogecoin?

McDonald’s has yet to respond.

But Twitter users were already dreaming of an alliance between the most famous meme coin and the king of the burger.

“McDonalds #Dogecoin Acceptance Coming!” commented one user.

“@McDonalds are sleeping on a gold mine here. The thousands of people who would just purchase a burger with @dogecoin for the sake of it,” said another user.
