Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and a proponent of the increasingly popular cryptocurrency Dogecoin, recently made headlines with a bold offer. The tech mogul took to Twitter to suggest that he would be willing to eat a happy meal live on television if McDonald’s accepted Dogecoin as a form of payment.
The offer prompted McDonald’s, the world’s largest fast-food chain, to inquire on Twitter about what they had missed, to which Tesla’s CEO responded with a hint about the possibility. When “DogeDesigner” of UX/UI and graphic designer at Dogecoin questioned whether Musk’s first offer to McDonald’s on adopting Dogecoin was still open, the multibillionaire responded with a ‘100’ emoji.
Twitter users have responded to the tweet in various ways, with some expressing hope that the quick-service restaurant company would rethink its decision to stop taking Dogecoin. Some users even volunteered to pay for Musk’s meal with Dogecoin if McDonald’s accepted it.
Musk has been a vocal proponent of the cryptocurrency as he has been frequently tweeting about it and encouraging others to invest. He indicated that he would be prepared to consume a happy meal on television if McDonald’s accepted Dogecoin as a form of payment. The restaurant company provides a meal package for children called a “happy meal,” which consists of a primary dish, an optional side dish, and a beverage.
The offer has generated a lot of excitement and anticipation as to whether McDonald’s would take up Musk on his offer and accept Dogecoin as a form of payment. While it remains to be seen if McDonald’s will accept the offer, it is clear that Musk is doing his part to push for the increased adoption of the cryptocurrency.
