Former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have brought renewed attention to the Fort Knox gold reserve, suggesting that an audit may be necessary to verify the gold's presence. During a recent interview, Trump mentioned that he and Musk had 'played with' the idea of inspecting the reserve, questioning whether any gold had been stolen. Musk previously tweeted about the gold's status, emphasizing that it belongs to the American public. The Fort Knox facility, located in Kentucky, holds over 9.2 million lbs. of gold, valued at approximately $6.2 billion. Despite various speculations and hoaxes over the years, the last significant audit occurred in 2017 when then Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin visited the site. Trump's comments have sparked further discussion about the Biden administration's handling of the reserve.
