Christmas came with a side of playful pressure for businesses that haven't jumped on the Dogecoin bandwagon. Dogecoin's (DOGE) official X account wished everyone a "Merry Dogemas" on December 25, then quickly pivoted to some holiday accountability.
Dogecoin Community Calls Out Businesses That Won't Accept DOGE: Tesla and McDonald's Top the Naughty List

Santa's Got a List, and He's Checking Payment Methods
The account asked the Dogecoin community to tag companies on a so-called "naughty list" for refusing to accept DOGE payments. "We'll make sure they're on the nice list for next year," the post promised.
The responses rolled in fast, and the names weren't surprising.
Musk's Companies Lead the Pack
Tesla Inc. (TSLA) got called out immediately, despite being owned by Dogecoin's biggest cheerleader, Elon Musk. A popular X user named Sir Doge of the Coin tagged Tesla directly: "Let's get back on the nice list!"
Here's the thing: Tesla's online merchandise shop actually used to accept Dogecoin payments. But currently, it only takes dollars. Last year, Musk himself expressed interest in bringing back the DOGE payment option, but nothing's happened yet. Classic "we'll get to it eventually" energy.
X Corp., Musk's other venture, also made the naughty list.
Will McDonald's Finally Accept the Challenge?
Fast food chains McDonald's and Burger King showed up in the replies too, courtesy of a user named TOPDOGE. This reference has history: Musk once publicly promised he'd eat a McDonald's Happy Meal on live television if the company adopted Dogecoin.
That was quite the bargaining chip, but McDonald's never took the bait. Maybe next Christmas?
