A new controversy is shaking up the largest U.S. gold reserves, all thanks to Elon Musk's curiosity. His simple question has revived long-standing doubts: Is all of America’s gold really where it’s supposed to be?
📊 Now, politicians are getting involved, demanding answers. Will Fort Knox finally undergo an independent audit?
Musk Questions: When Was the Last Time Fort Knox Gold Was Verified? 🤔💰
The debate ignited on X (formerly Twitter) when ZeroHedge tagged Musk, drawing attention to unverified U.S. gold reserves.
💬 ZeroHedge suggested that Musk personally verify Fort Knox, as it hasn’t been properly audited since 1974.
😲 Musk, surprised, asked:
📢 "Surely it’s reviewed at least once a year?"
⚡ ZeroHedge quickly replied: "It should be. But it’s not."
This explosive exchange triggered a wave of speculation. If Fort Knox still contains the reported 4,580 metric tons of gold, its current market value would be approximately $425 billion. But what if the gold is no longer there?
🌍 Rumors began swirling that it had been sold off, moved, or that the public had been kept in the dark about its true status.
U.S. Senator Calls Trump to Action 🏛️🔍
Musk’s question didn’t go unnoticed in the political sphere. U.S. Senator Rand Paul immediately backed a formal review of gold reserves.
📢 "No. Let’s do it," Paul declared, pointing to decades of neglected inspections.
💡 This demand has deep roots – Rand Paul is following in the footsteps of his father, former Congressman Ron Paul, who has long advocated for greater transparency in America’s gold reserves.
Bitcoin Instead of Gold? A Radical Alternative ⚡₿
While the debate over Fort Knox rages on, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed a bold alternative – Bitcoin as the new U.S. reserve asset.
💡 Why Bitcoin?
🔹 Unlike gold, a Bitcoin reserve would offer full transparency thanks to blockchain technology, allowing anyone to verify holdings at any time.
🔹 Lummis has already introduced the "BITCOIN Act," outlining a plan for the U.S. to acquire 1 million BTC (approximately 5% of Bitcoin’s total supply).
🔹 The proposal includes secure state-run Bitcoin vaults under the U.S. Treasury, funded without taxpayer money, utilizing existing financial resources.
📊 Could the U.S. abandon the gold standard and transition to Bitcoin instead? 🤯
Will Fort Knox Finally Be Audited? 🧐💰
With growing demands for an audit, pressure is mounting on U.S. officials to confirm or debunk the rumors.
🔺 Is all of America’s gold still in Fort Knox as the government claims?
🔺 Will this debate spark a shift toward Bitcoin as a national reserve asset?
