Ft. Knox

Elon Musk is auditing the entire government, it seems, bit by bit. And now, he’s been alerted to Fort Knox. Will he audit the gold reserves in Ft Knox? What are the chances there’s nothing actually there? 

It all began with zerohedge’s suggestion, which Elon responded to: 

Here is Senator Mike Lee explaining to Elon that he has been blocked from Ft Knox despite repeated requests. 

Here is Elon suggesting doing a live stream to show the public in real time what is found. 

This would certainly engender trust, since a live stream can’t be edited in the shadows or deleted and cancelled if the findings were inconvenient. 

51 years ago, 12 Congressman and members of the media were allowed to inspect and view the nation’s gold reserves on live TV. It CAN be done.

Apparently X exchanges are how we make these decisions now. Is this level of transparency refreshing, or what? 

It appears Elon Musk fully intends to enter Fort Knox and make sure nothing has changed. Hopefully it will be a very boring visit. 

But what if the gold is gone? 

The implications could be catastrophic for the U.S. financial system and global markets.  

Here’s why: 

The Gold at Fort Knox Is Supposed to Back Confidence in the U.S. Dollar. 

While the U.S. dollar isn’t backed by gold anymore, the U.S. still holds gold reserves as a store of wealth and credibility. 

The official gold holdings are around 261 million troy ounces (~8,133 metric tons), making the U.S. the largest gold holder in the world. 

If that gold were missing or drastically lower than reported, it would shatter global trust in the U.S. government’s financial transparency. 

Collapse of Trust = Market Chaos 

If an audit proved the gold wasn’t there, here’s what could happen: 

Massive sell-off of U.S. Treasuries – Foreign governments and investors would likely lose confidence in U.S. debt. Countries like China and Japan (huge bondholders) might dump treasuries, spiking interest rates. 

Stock Market Crash – Investors might panic, dumping stocks due to the loss of faith in U.S. stability. 

Gold Prices Would Skyrocket – Physical gold’s value could explode overnight, as people scramble for hard assets. 

Dollar Confidence Could Be Shaken – Even though the U.S. isn’t on the gold standard, a Fort Knox scandal would undermine global confidence in the dollar, potentially triggering inflation. 

Foreign Governments Might Rethink Holding U.S. Dollars & Debt 

The U.S. dollar is the dominant world reserve currency, largely because of trust in the U.S. economy and government stability. 

If it were revealed that the gold reserves were faked or missing, it could accelerate de-dollarization around the globe. 

Nations that already distrust the U.S. (China, Russia, BRICS countries, etc.) could fast-track alternative global payment systems that bypass the dollar. 

Could Lead to a Full-Blown Debt Crisis 

The U.S. has $36+ trillion in debt, backed by confidence, not assets. 

If that confidence were severely shaken, the U.S. would struggle to borrow at low interest rates, making the national debt more expensive to service. 

This could trigger a major fiscal crisis—forcing tax hikes, spending cuts, or even a financial collapse scenario. 

Would the Government Cover It Up? 

Given the stakes, certain elements within the government would do everything possible to never let this information become public. If Fort Knox was ever found empty, we’d likely see: 

Excuses or denials – “The gold was moved for national security reasons.” 

A slow-roll cover-up – Small, partial audits that never give full clarity. 

Deflection – The government might focus media attention elsewhere to prevent panic. 

If Fort Knox were found empty, it wouldn’t be about the gold itself—it would be about trust, transparency, and the credibility of U.S. financial leadership. 

If that trust were shattered, the dollar could lose its global dominance, U.S. markets would be rocked, and we’d likely see a historic shift toward alternative financial systems.
