Elon Musk Demands a Fort Knox Audit—Will They Find Any Gold?

Feb 18, 2025, 1:38 PM EST

For decades, Americans have been told that the gold inside Fort Knox is untouchable, securely locked away in one of the most fortified vaults on earth. But what if it’s not?

What if, behind those massive steel doors, the greatest financial scandal in history has been hiding in plain sight?

Now, Elon Musk is calling for a live audit. But can this really happen? If an independent audit reveals that Fort Knox’s gold is missing, it could shatter the global financial system. The U.S. dollar and trust in the Federal Reserve…everything is at risk.

And all of this is happening right now as gold is being shipped from London to New York at an unprecedented rate. Meanwhile, Russia and China are stockpiling gold like never before. Are these events connected?

Here’s the problem: Fort Knox officially holds 4,581.5 tons of gold. But no one has independently verified that the gold is actually there. The last full audit was in 1953. Since then, only two brief inspections—one in 1974 and another in 2017.

Zero independent audits. Zero transparency.

So, why now? Why are some of the world’s most powerful voices suddenly calling for a full-scale inspection? What happens if Fort Knox is empty? And how will this impact gold prices, the dollar, and the global economy?

Watch our latest GoldCoreTV episode to uncover the truth behind Fort Knox and what could be the biggest financial cover-up in history.
