Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky wants to make sure the amount of gold the military says is stored at Fort Knox is really there. He says “the more sunlight, the better.”

On his social media platform X, both Musk and Kentucky U.S. Sen. Rand Paul said an audit of gold reserves at Fort Knox may be needed.

Elon Musk could get a golden audit. The world’s richest man got encouragement Sunday to bring his cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) into one of the most secure places in the world: Fort Knox.
