Elon was pulled into the debate today when an X user asked him to check if the US gold reserves still exist. Elon responded, “Surely it’s reviewed at least every year.” The US Treasury claims that Fort Knox holds $425 billion worth of gold at market rates, but the last time anyone actually saw it was in 2017, when Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin visited. Before that? 1974, when journalists and lawmakers were allowed…
