'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.

It sounds like they might be violating the privacy of the fake gold bars.
Lol.
My doctor, Dr. Chatbot just informed that 4580 tons of gold would be worth approximately 430 billion $ today
1974? Good grief, it is long gone. I hope there’s a paper trail so somebody can go to jail
How will Elon use AI to count all the gold bars at Fort Knox?
It is not impossible that 4580 tons of gold is really 4580 tons of tungsten that has been painted. It has the same density, but it can only be known when tested.
nobody has or ever will go to jail. Saddam Hussein was hanged for some reason but that’s pretty much it. The CIA really wanted him dead.
Strap in.
yes, you would have to drill into it. Who would do that?
I honestly do not think that ANYONE will go to jail.
Musk. :D
Most likely the perps are long dead.

It’s less than 1/2 trillion dollars at today’s prices. less than you would hope.
This will be fun.
For you Jack Reacher fans, you might remember the “Cleaning The Gold” book. Reacher was part of a crew tasked with cleaning the gold bars at Fort Knox. And having a near eidetic memory, Reacher discovered that the gold bars had the same bazillion digit serial numbers and so the cleaning teams were actually just cleaning the same bars day after. So the actual number of gold bars was hidden.
Maybe Elon will cross check the serial numbers.
If nothing else, Elon can see what some of his net worth would look like if it was converted to gold bars . . .
It has been fifty years and the most reasonable youngest accomplice would be in their late 70’s and 80’s.
