Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter CEO Elon Musk has reiterated his willingness to chow down on a McDonald’s Happy Meal live on TV if the fast food giant decides to embrace the meme cryptocurrency dogecoin DOGE -0.10% (DOGE).
A Year in Review
It has been 12 months since the billionaire made the offer via Twitter on January 25, 2022, however, McDonald’s did not take up the offer at the time. Instead, the fast food corporation replied: “Only if Tesla accepts grimacecoin”, referring to the fluffy, purple character who appears in McDonaldland commercials.
Musk’s Offer Remains Open
The topic of Musk’s promise was revisited this week when a Twitter user asked the Tesla CEO if his offer was still on the table. Musk responded with a 100 emoji, confirming his commitment to the offer.
Doing The Doge Dance
As the self-proclaimed “Dogefather” in the meme crypto community, Musk has been a long-time supporter of dogecoin. Tesla already accepts DOGE for merchandise, with SpaceX set to follow suit, and his tunnel construction firm, The Boring Company, also accepts DOGE payments for tunnel rides.
In addition, Musk has personally invested in bitcoin BTC 0.42%, ether, and dogecoin, and has expressed his commitment to supporting the cryptocurrency. In June 2022, he stated he would keep buying and supporting DOGE, and in November of the same year, he declared: “Dogecoin to the Moon.”
GrimaceCoin’s Brief Flash In the Pan
Following the interaction between the McDonald’s Twitter account and Musk in January 2022, a crypto token called grimacecoin (GRIMACE) was launched, however, it has no affiliation with either McDonald’s or Musk. At the time of writing, each grimacecoin is trading at $0.5879.
