On Tuesday, local time, McDonald’s responded to Tesla CEO Musk on social media, saying that it wants us to accept Dogecoin DOGE 0.14% unless Tesla accepts Grimacecoin.

What McDonald’s calls “Grimacecoin” refers to a fictitious cryptocurrency that imitates the McDonald’s mascot, Grimace.
Earlier, Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Twitter urged McDonald’s to accept Dogecoin as a payment method.
“If McDonald’s accepts this cryptocurrency, he’s eating McDonald’s Happy Meal on TV.”

After McDonald’s sent this tweet, several accounts claiming to sell Grimacecoin appeared on social media, but McDonald’s officially did not participate in the operation of Grimacecoin.
