Last Tuesday, January 25, a great stir was formed on Twitter and the protagonist was once again Elon Musk, the billionaire who was person of the year according to Times magazine. On this occasion, the controversial tycoon involved McDonald’s. But what does Musk have to do with the world’s most famous burger joint?
The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX published a message on Twitter in which he invited the restaurant chain to accept the most popular memecoin in its establishments as a form of payment. “I will eat a Happy Meal on TV if McDonald’s accepts dogecoin,” he wrote.

How could it be otherwise, this caused the cryptocurrency to be priced higher. The dogecoin price rose more than 8% after the tweet was published, to $0.1496. However, the asset has returned to its previous value and, on this occasion, the media power of Elon Musk only represented a slight temporary increase.
McDonald’s invites Tesla to accept ‘grimacecoin’
However, the billionaire’s provocation not only found a response from thousands of Twitter users, McDonald’s own account also attended the meeting.
“Only if Tesla accepts grimacecoin,” the burger chain replied on the social network. The name refers to Grimace, the company’s famous purple mascot. A character that the company had to withdraw after realizing that he scared children.

Once again, McDonald’s response caused a furor on the internet, while even an unknown user created the token with which the multinational was joking.
With the name GrimaceCoin, the coin was launched on the market through the Binance Smart Chain network and in a few hours it increased by 6,000%. However, many tweeters warned that it was a potential scam.
Since its inception, this asset has grown rapidly, going from $0.006 to $1.8 in just three hours. However, Grimace did not stop and the price of him increased to $4.7 in just one day. As of today, the token has stabilized around $9 after reaching a value of $12.49.
Notably, this entire feud started with a taunt from McDonald’s towards crypto investors: “How are the people on Twitter who run crypto accounts?”
