Senator Rand Paul invites Elon Musk to come to his state of Kentucky to assess the largest reserves of gold in the US
A Libertarian X account in 2 million followers asked the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) to set his sights on Fort Knox to ensure that the American supply of gold is still in its reserves.
Musk wondered why the gold supply is not assessed every year, which led to speculation that he could investigate the military base with the reinforced safe full of our gold.
Because President Donald Trump took on Trump and Musk in a dominant position in Washington, the billionaire has focused on several agencies that, according to the duo, will save the federal government from 'waste spending'.
He helped to completely dismantle USAID – burning or placing more than 10,000 employees in the uncertain – and has reduced billions in financing at agencies such as the Ministry of Education and Four of the best financial officials dismissed at FEMA.
“It would be great if Elon Musk could take a look in Fort Knox to ensure that the 4,580 tons of our gold are there” 1974. “
Musk responded to the post with: “It was certainly assessed at least every year?”
But the Republican senator Paul van Kentucky said 'no' and invited Musk to 'do' and have his doge -staff employees perform an audit of the reserves in the Knox Army Base Fort.
The Bullion Depository of the United States is on Fort Knox on Thursday 27 February 2014 in Fort Knox, KY. Built in 1936, the Depository Gold Bullion reserves of the US Treasury Department
Members of the Congress and the Media went into the vaults on September 23, 1974 in a Tour led by the director of the Mint of the United States when Mary Brooks (depicted) spread after a conspiracy that Fort Knox Gold reserves was empty
The Bullion Depository has around 147 million Troy our bulk gold, which represents more than half of the gold held by the US federal government or 56.35 percent of the total.
The American Mint Police is responsible for protecting the gold reserve.
Gold reserves in the US, just like all gold reserves, act as a financial safety net against economic instability.
It stores the actual, tangible value and helps to cover itself against inflation with the intention of maintaining the trust of the public in the currency of the nation, even though the Golden Standard is no longer the way the economy works.
While the X-post suggests that the last inspection of the Golden Treasury was being carried out in 1974, there was also an in August 2017 when Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell brought a small group, including the then secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin, to the safe.
A few very granular black and white images of Mnuchin in the safe were released after the visit for what the audience is told his gold bars.
Mnuchin was the first head of the treasury to visit the keeper since 1948.
The first inspection of the Kluis was in 1943 by President Franklin Roosevelt in the aftermath of the great depression and in the grip of the Second World War.
Doge's head wondered why the Golden safes are not assessed every year
The aforementioned inspection from 1974 came in response to a circulating conspiracy theory the moment that Elites secretly had removed the gold and the safes were actually empty. Members of the congress and the media lived the Tour led by the American Mint Director at that time to prove the public that the gold was still there.
Musk and his DOGE team have been in a disaster in attempts to make cuts on federal expenditures and federal government funds of taxpayers in the past month.
This includes the termination of dei programs and the termination of financing for those initiatives in federal departments. In addition, government contracts with private companies were canceled that had to do everything with so -called diversity, equity and inclusion practices.
There is speculation that Dog other agencies could reduce after the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was completely closed earlier this month.
