Elon Musk and his DOGE team are ready to enter Fort Knox to ensure all the gold bars are still there.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) planted the seed of the idea Monday when he revealed that Fort Knox refused to let him inspect the facility.
“As a U.S. senator I’ve tried repeatedly to get into Fort Knox,” Lee xweeted.
But Fort Knox refused his request. They claim that some 60 years ago a bad man fired off a nuclear device in Fort Knox, which irradiated all the gold. Apparently, a British secret agent was killed in the bla— okay, that’s not true.
Lee says Fort Knox told him a United States senator is not allowed inside Fort Knox because “It’s a military installation.” When Lee pointed out he visits military bases all the time, he was told, “You still can’t come. Because, you can’t.”
So much for civilian oversight of the military.
“Who is confirming that gold wasn’t stolen from Fort Knox? Maybe it’s there, maybe it’s not. That gold is owned by the American public! We want to know if it’s still there,” Musk xweeted.
“Surely it’s reviewed every year,” Musk added. Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul answered, “Nope. Let’s do it.” Kentucky, of course, is where Fort Knox is located—according to the movie.
Here’s Rand Paul’s father, former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), expressing his concerns about the gold in Fort Knox years and years ago:
