Ilon Musk, billionaire and head of the DOGE Efficiency Department in the Donald Trump administration, received an invitation to visit Fort Knocks, a place where the US gold reserve is stored. Daily Mail writes about this.

Mask in Kentukki, where the depository of the US Satcom is located, was invited by Senator Rand Paul.

Rand Paul turned to the head of the Department of Efficiency of Public Administration (DOGE) with a request to pay attention to Fort Knocks to make sure that US gold reserves are still in its reserves.

" The last time someone looked there 50 years ago, in 1974, ”the Zero Hedge news aggregator wrote in X.

Elon Musk replied to the post: \?

Senator Republican Paul from Kentukka said no and suggested a mask to do this and conduct an audit of reserves located at the Fort Snoks military base.

On September 23, 1974, members of the congress and media representatives went to storage facilities during the excursion under the leadership of the then director of the US Mint Mary Brooks after the rumor spread that the gold reserves of Fortoks were empty.

Although X report that the last check of gold chests was carried out in 1974, it was also carried out in August 2017, when the senator from Kentukki Mitch MacConnell brought a small group to the repository, including the then Minister of Finance Stephen Mnuchin. Mnuchin was the first head of the treasury to visit the depository since 1948. The first storage inspection took place in 1943.

US Oppository, often known as Fort Knoks, is a fortified storage building located next to the US Army post in Fortoksa, Kentukki. He is managed by the US Department of Finance. The storage is used to store a significant part of the US gold reserves, as well as other valuable items belonging to the federal government. For example, the originals of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are stored there.

After the Second World War, there was the crown of St. Stefan, as well as the reserves of opium and morphine. Now it stores ten gold coins of the 1933 double eagle, 1974 aluminum pennies and twelve gold (22-carat) dollar coins of Sakagavea, which flew on the Cosmic shuttle of Colombia in 1999.

The storage is so safe that the expression is “as safe as Fort Snix” was cliche to indicate safety and security.

Recall that when US President Donald Trump returned to the White House and put a mask to a leading position in Washington, a billionaire aimed at a number of agencies in order to reduce expenses, which, according to the duet, will save the federal government from “wasteful expenses”.

He helped to completely close the USAID, having fired or putting more than 10,000 employees in a suspended condition, and also reduced the financing of agencies such as the Ministry of Education, by billions of dollars.
