Elon Musk encouraged to crack open Fort Knox and audit the $425 billion gold reserves inside — and Rand Paul wants to help

[el midgetron]

“Elon Musk could get a golden audit.

The world’s richest man got encouragement Sunday to bring his cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) into one of the most secure places in the world: Fort Knox.

Sen. Rand Paul called for a review of the vault’s massive gold reserves — worth an estimated $425 billion based on market rates — in response to the tech mogul’s musings about the stash.

Musk, 53, drew attention to a user who asked him to “take a look inside Fort Knox just to make sure the 4,580 tons of US gold is there.”

Doesn’t seem like they even talk about Fort Knox any more. I would love to see this audit take place.

Letting that animal into the nations gold reserve would be astonishingly stupid, even in the current climate of stupid.

It was audited back in the 70s by then KY Senator Dee Huddleston. I remember when it happened.

maybe it's time to actually gauge if what is there is actually there, I mean it won't hurt.

this is not a D or R thing, it's just making sure records are what they say

 

[sparky]

this'll end badly........~S~

the place is empty and we gave the gold to Iran?

nah, gold is a hedge and will likely increase in value

if the world goes nuts we have leverage

How would they move anything out without it being noticed? It sits on a slight hill surrounded by a grass field. I worked a mile from there. I had a friend who was one of the guards.

they won't which is why fort knox is known to be a vault

it would need to be some inside job, something for hollywood but not realistic in the real world

I’d be shocked if it wasn’t looted by Obama and Biden.

I actually agree with you on this.

 

[Dr.Destructo]

Of course, then again.............Fort Knox has been empty since Obozo sold most of it to his master Jinping, and gave the rest to Wall Street to keep in their vaults.

The only thing Musk will find in Fort Knox is an IOU taped to the door.

Come to think of it, Trump DOES look a bit like Auric Goldfinger.

Goldfinger had blond hair, orange skin, was a bit heavy, and liked to play golf too.
And doesn't Musk bear something of a resemblance to Bond?

Just sayin'. I'm sure it is all just a coincidence.

Say, I wonder if there are any big lasers at SpaceX?

Not with 425 billion we don't. That actually means we're factoring it about 5 times... Maybe more.

And if it is not all there it's a race to the bottom for us, then the end of America being great, an even faster spiral to the fall. It's not worth the chance, even a very small chance, imo.

No, Mr. Musk, I expect you to die.
