Tech billionaire Elon Musk has his sights set on an audit of the U.S. gold reserve at Ft. Knox through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after it was revealed there is no yearly review for the world-renowned stash.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who invited Musk to review the gold reserve on X over the weekend, joined “FOX & Friends” to discuss the need for greater transparency about the massive reserve after trying to verify it himself for a decade.

The United States has the world’s largest gold reserve, having more than 8,100 tonnes of it at the end of 2024, according to the World Gold Council.

Fort. Knox’s massive reserve has reportedly been valued at $425 billion according to the New York Post, with the rest of the United States’ highly sought-after metal being stored in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Critics have called for greater transparency regarding the stash after it was revealed the top-secret locations are not subject to a yearly audit.
