• Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently responded to a series of tweets from Mcdonald’s and a question from a DOGE community member, reaffirming his support for Dogecoin.
• Musk responded to a question from a DOGE community member, asking if his offer to eat a Happy Meal on camera on TV if McDonald’s accepted Dogecoin as a means of payment was still valid, with “100%.”
• While it is still uncertain if McDonald’s will actually accept Dogecoin for payments, the crypto community continues to build trust and encourage one another not to lose hope.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently expressed his support for Dogecoin once more. After months of being less forthcoming with his appreciation of Dogecoin, Musk responded to a series of tweets from McDonald’s, as well as a question from a DOGE community member, reigniting the conversation about the cryptocurrency.
It all started when McDonald’s tweeted “what did I miss”, and Binance’s Twitter account responded with “A lot of green candles.” McDonald’s then showed its support 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 one another not to lose hope. Musk responded with “Oh hi lol.”
Seeing this, a DOGE community member pulled out an old tweet from Musk from January 2022, in which 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 was still valid, and he responded with “100%.”
The conversation has sparked a lot of speculation around whether McDonald’s will actually accept Dogecoin for payments. After all, when Musk made his Happy Meal offer back in January 2022, the DOGE price surged by double digits. However, McDonald’s has yet to make a move in that direction.
The crypto community remains hopeful, however, and continues to build trust and encourage one another not to lose hope. It remains to be seen if McDonald’s will ultimately accept Dogecoin as a means of payment, but Musk’s recent comments have certainly raised the temperature.
