Elon Musk recently made headlines when he suggested live-streaming a tour of Fort Knox to verify if the 4,580 tons of gold stored there actually exist. Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 2025, Musk expressed skepticism about the U.S. gold reserves and called for greater transparency. He humorously questioned whether the gold was real or just “spray-painted lead.”

Musk argued that since the gold belongs to the public, people have the right to see it. He proposed opening the vaults and broadcasting the inspection live. His remarks were met with enthusiastic applause from the CPAC audience.

 

Following his comments, former President Donald Trump announced he would join Musk in visiting Fort Knox to personally check the reserves. This unexpected collaboration has sparked intense public debate. Some view it as a positive move toward government transparency, while others worry about security risks.

The U.S. Bullion Depository at Fort Knox holds approximately 147.3 million ounces of gold. It has been historically off-limits to the public, with only a few government officials ever granted access. If Musk’s proposal moves forward, it would mark an unprecedented event in U.S. history.
