Elon Musk Dares McDonald’s To Accept Dogecoin With This Offer In Exchange
Elon Musk made another push for the support of Dogecoin, this time it involved getting McDonald’s (MCD) on board with the cryptocurrency.
In a tweet at the burger chain early Tuesday morning, Musk said he would eat a Happy Meal on live television if McDonald’s started accepting Dogecoin for payment.
While there was no response from McDonald’s on whether or not it would take Musk up on his offer, several followers of the Tesla CEO’s tweet supported the idea.
Others on Twitter thought Musk’s proposition for McDonald’s was a genius marketing opportunity.
Even Burger King chimed in by tweeting at Musk, saying only the “king knows what da coin do.”
Musk, a long supporter of Dogecoin, announced earlier in January that Tesla would begin accepting the coin for payment for some merchandise.
On Tuesday, Dogecoin climbed 7.25% to $0.142, according to CoinMarketCap.
As of at 1:16 p.m. ET, shares of McDonald's were trading at $249.53, down $4.08, or 1.61%.
