Elon Musk's panic, America's gold worth 37 lakh crores disappeared…
Has the gold worth 425 billion dollars i.e. 37 lakh crores kept in fort Knox, a secure basement in America, disappeared somewhere? Questions have been constantly being raised in American society and politics about this. Now Tesla's chief Elon Musk has also jumped into it. He has expressed doubts about this gold reserve. Musk has said that it should be audited to find out how much gold is kept there. He has raised the question whether 4580 tonnes of gold is still kept there.
It seems that the US government can get the gold kept here investigated. This commotion has intensified due to a post by Elon Musk, a close aide of President trump and Chief of the Department of government Efficiency. Interestingly, this ultra-secure treasure has been completely closed to the general public since 1974 and only high officials and journalists have got a glimpse of it. trump supporters are speculating whether this gold actually exists or is only recorded on paper. Republican senator Rand Paul has also joined these discussions.
Elon Musk can go to fort Knox and investigate
User ZeroHedge wrote on social media platform X, it would be great if @elonmusk looked inside fort Knox and saw whether 4580 tons of American gold is there or not. The last time someone saw it was 50 years ago in 1974. On this, Musk said, surely it must be inspected at least once a year? ZeroHedge replied, it should be, but it is not. Republican senator Rand Paul of Kentucky also replied to Musk, let's do it.
This is not the first time a controversy has arisen
Questions have been raised earlier also about how much gold is there in fort Knox. Rand Paul's father Ron Paul has been a Republican Congressman from texas and a three-time presidential candidate. He had advocated linking the dollar to gold again. He too had raised questions about the presence of gold in fort Knox. In 2011, Paul told Bloomberg Businessweek that the government is asking the American people to believe that all the gold is there, but is not letting anyone go there and is not making all the data public.
