Elon Musk and Senator Mike Lee, Republican from Utah, are interested in checking the gold reserves at Fort Knox. Musk expressed interest in doing a video walk through. Lee described how he tried to gain access to Fort Knox but was told that he couldn’t enter. When asked why, they told him that it was a military installation. Despite telling them that he has been on other military installations, Lee was told that he couldn’t enter.<\/p>\n

From The Post Millennial:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Elon Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and Senator Mike Lee (R_UT) are demanding access to Fort Knox in order to examine the reserves of gold the country keeps stored there.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Musk said it would be “cool to do a live video walkthrough of Fort Knox.”<\/p>\n

Lee responded, and said that he has tried “repeatedly” to get into the Kentucky fort, being told by officials at the fort, “you can’t come to Fort Knox.” When pressed for why he couldn’t go, he recounted that he was told, “It’s a military installation.” When Lee noted that as a Senator, he has visited military bases “all the time,” Lee said officials denied him entry, saying, “You still can’t come. Because, you can’t.”<\/p>\n

In response, Musk told Lee, “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.”<\/p>\n

Kentucky’s Fort Knox is the location of the United States Bullion Depository which stores precious metal bullion reserves for the US. According to US Mint, “no visitors are permitted in the facility.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
