Every second, 706 customers walk through the doors of McDonald’s restaurants in 118 countries around the world. The Big Macs, Big Tasty or even the Cheeseburgers served in its 40,000 fast food outlets enabled it to generate a turnover of 23 billion dollars in 2021.

At the end of January 2022, Elon Musk made this promise: “ I will eat Happy Meal live if McDonald’s accepts Dogecoin (DOGE) “. The Dogefather actually rallied with the crypto community at the time to accelerate the integration of cryptocurrencies into the payment methods of this fast food giant. In response, McDonald’s asked the American billionaire if he would accept “Grimacoin” as a form of payment at Tesla. A troll!
In an article published on January 27, almost a year after Musk’s proposal, U°Today said McDonald’s has passed up a rare opportunity to ” go viral “. Indeed, a simple tweet posted by the new boss of Twitter, currently followed by nearly 128 million followerswould have revised upwards the number of McDonald’s consumers in the world.
