It would be great if Elon Musk could take a look inside Fort Knox just to make sure the 4,580 tons of US gold is there,’ the libertarian Zero Hedge news aggregator account posted to X. ‘Last time anyone looked was 50 years ago in 1974.’
Musk responded to the post with: ‘Surely it’s reviewed at least every year?’
But Republican Sen. Paul of Kentucky said ‘nope’ and invited Musk to ‘do it’ and have his DOGE staffers conduct an audit of the reserves located in the Fort Knox Army base. More

@LCD — I fear the Bee is prophetic. The govt has been predominantly crooks since the git-go, and swapping IOUs for the gold is EXACTLY what crooks would do.
Is it there? Is it gold? Is it OURS? If not ours, who owns it, when did it transfer ownership, and who sold it? Unless ALL OF THOSE ITEMS ARE ADDRESSED, don’t bother with an audit.
Watch out for the large Asian man tossing his hat around.
Gold has the same density as tungsten.
The current spot price for tungsten is ~ $45/kg.
The price of gold per kg is $93,800.
There were stories about NY basement vaults having their piles of gold bullion swapped for tungsten bricks plated with a trace of gold.
Yes, it sure would be important to know EXACTLY what is being “guarded” currently at Ft Knox and why the Fort’s contents have NOT been audited annually and who made that decision (to not audit it regularly).
When was the last audit, who did it, and every who that has had access to that cache since then.

I hope to God sphincters are puckering. I would have preferred that this be done with no notice.
President Trump needs to issue an immediate order to perform the audit at Ft. Knox. Photos need to be taken of the inside of each room showing the gold bars are there along with metallurgical testing to prove they are solid 24K gold bars.
Since when do citizens have standing to know what we did with their wealth????

Ah…OddJob.
You did a good, but an odd job, in coming up with the link.
If you steal from the government, the smart bet is to also steal enough for the judges and the lawyers!
That’s not gonna work anymore!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaannd that’s why sphincters are puckering!
