During a flight on Air Force One, President Trump expressed concerns about gold reserves at Fort Knox, referencing recent posts by Elon Musk on X. Musk had questioned whether the gold was being safeguarded, prompting confusion among reporters. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent clarified that annual audits confirm the gold is secure, even offering to facilitate inspections for curious senators. The conversation reflects ongoing public skepticism, possibly fueled by Musk's social media engagement regarding the gold's status.
We do an audit every year, Bessent said. All the gold is present and accounted for.
Musk has been promising to verify that the gold is still there.
