• McDonald’s sparked a conversation between themselves, Elon Musk, and Dogecoin when they posted a tweet on January 26th, 2023.

• Dogecoin’s value has remained unaffected by the speculation, trading at $0.085 USD at the time of writing.
On January 26th, 2023, McDonald’s stirred up a frenzy on social media when they posted a simple tweet that read “what did I miss” to their 4.7M followers. The tweet quickly gained traction, accumulating 8.1M views in less than 24 hours. This initial tweet sparked a conversation between some of the most recognizable names in the business world, Elon Musk and Dogecoin.
The Dogecoin community and Elon Musk seized the opportunity to promote the potential of using DOGE as a payment option for McDonald’s. DogeDesigner, a UX/UI graphic designer at Dogecoin, resurrected a year-old tweet from Musk, in which he pledged that he would “eat a happy meal on tv if McDonald’s accepts Dogecoin.” To this, Musk replied with the “100%” emoji, indicating his opinion on the potential partnership.
The price of Dogecoin has been on the rise, currently experiencing an upswing of 6.42% over the last seven days, according to data by Messari. However, Dogecoin’s value has remained unaffected by the speculation, trading at $0.085 USD at the time of writing. This could be attributed to the uncertainty that surrounds the collaboration between McDonald’s and Dogecoin.
Although the possibility of Dogecoin payments being accepted at McDonald’s has yet to be confirmed, the Twitter conversation between Elon Musk, Dogecoin and McDonald’s has opened up the possibility of a new and innovative partnership. Only time will tell if this potential collaboration will come to fruition, and the Dogecoin community (and the world) will be eagerly waiting to find out.
