Elon Musk Implores McDonald’s To Adopt Dogecoin

When Elon Musk asks for things, they typically happen. The Tesla CEO and Dogecoin father pleaded with McDonald’s to offer Dogecoin as a payment option via Twitter today.

Elon Musk Wants McDonald’s To Accept Dogecoin

The self-proclaimed Dogecoin father and CEO of Tesla Elon Musk is out to help the Dogecoin community again. On Tuesday, he tweeted that he would eat a Happy Meal on TV if Mcdonald’s allows customers to pay with Dogecoin.

After just a few hours, Musk’s tweet received over 200k likes. Per usual, Dogecoin spiked around 8% in FIVE minutes, yes five minutes, before it started to head back down. $DOGE has since leveled off but still remains in the green for the day at the time of press.

In the above chart, the curser is placed at about the exact time Elon tweeted his plead for McDonald’s to accept $DOGE.

Musk’s tweet comes a day after McDonald’s began interacting with the crypto community on twitter. The fast food giant tweeted: “how are you doing people who run crypto twitter accounts”. during the sharp sell off of the entire crypto market on Monday.

Dogecoin Community Urges McDonald’s

Let’s be clear, Elon’s tweet was not random. Over the past week, the Dogecoin community has been all over McDonald’s to accept $DOGE. The idea is to get enough people to urge McDonald’s to accept Dogecoin and it will actually happen. McDonald’s is listening:

To go back further, it all started earlier in the week when McDonald’s tweeted a picture of french fries and asked their followers to respond with a photoshopped image of anyone snagging a fry. The co-founder of Dogecoin, Billy Markus, accepted that challenge and responded with a picture of the Shiba Inu mascot of Dogecoin eating a fry.

It would not be surprising if McDonald’s actually makes this happen. From a corporate level, McDonald’s probably sees this as a giant untapped reservoir of potential customers.

Tesla now accepts $DOGE, the Dallas Mavericks accept $DOGE, so what’s stopping McDonald’s?
