Spirited away to where? Who knows.
Now his son, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), is also pressing for answers, and he wants Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency to help him find out:
The world’s richest man got encouragement Sunday to bring his cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) into one of the most secure places in the world: Fort Knox.
Sen. Rand Paul called for a review of the massive gold reserves — worth an estimated $425 billion based on market rates — in response to the tech mogul’s musings about the stash.
Musk, 53, drew attention to a user who asked him to “take a look inside Fort Knox just to make sure the 4,580 tons of US gold is there.”
“Surely it’s reviewed at least every year,” Musk replied to X user Zerohedge.
“Nope. Let’s do it,” Paul (R-Ky.), 62, chimed in, referring to the Army installation south of Louisville.
Nope. Let’s do it. https://t.co/4sgVpaCwwz

🚨Update: The US Government claims it has almost 5000 tons of Gold, but Fort Knox US Gold Reserve has not been audited since 1974, almost 50 years ago. No one has seen any of it. It’s time for Elon and DOGE to conduct a full audit of every single ounce of Gold!! It’s our money!! pic.twitter.com/U8wCFpd0QU
