Massie made a valiant effort https://massie.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=395725

Trump is Commander in Chief and should be able to visit a military facility and inspect it personally.
Massie is a bitch.
they forgor 💀
I don't think it'll ever be made public...
Knowing eliminates the ability to make moves ...
I know that sounds greazy but it's how it is...
Think about it.
What benefit to them is there to announce a true accounting?
None that I can think of ...
You?
Other Gold Reserve locations
Fort Knox is not the only location where U.S. gold reserves are held. Other major storage sites include the West Point Mint in New York, which holds over 54 million troy ounces of gold bullion in deep storage, and the Denver Mint in Colorado, storing approximately 43.85 million troy ounces.
Additionally, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York holds a significant amount of gold—around 13.38 million troy ounces of gold bullion and over 73,000 troy ounces of gold coins—though much of this is owned by foreign nations, central banks, and international organizations.
The U.S. Mint also maintains working stock gold (coins, blanks, and miscellaneous items) across various locations, totaling about 2.78 million troy ounces, used for coin production.
No...I only want verification that the GOLD IS THERE ✨

FYI I was just browsing and reminiscing when a monster box of 500 silver eagles was only $8500... it's around $52,000 now.... yikes!
I know we have the GOLD. but don't think it's ALL in Fort Knox...where did we put all of the Gold from The Vatican??

And...we've come Full circle!
Yes...our gold has come home! 💛
Wheres the gold we recovered from Japan after WW2?
Wish I knew..
If the gold is gone. That gives Trump massive power to find out what the hell is going on. He can arrest anyone, anywhere, anytime to solve it. Treason is involved.
..... or .....
Marshal law. It is a Fort after all. "Who stole our gold? General, find out, by any means necessary."
Funny, you're asking a question to which the answer, YES, has already been given many times.
Who told you that?
Does an answer of "yes" mean that is the truth?
Is there evidence to the contrary?
Just pointing that out MD was addressing the “should” in your question.
Here are several news articles (primarily from 2025, as the major discussion peaked then) that directly address the question "Should DOGE audit Fort Knox?" — or explore the debate, arguments for/against, and related proposals. These pieces highlight calls for transparency, the lack of recent independent audits (last full one in the 1950s, partial in 1974), potential benefits like restoring public trust, and counterpoints from Treasury officials claiming annual internal checks suffice and that the gold is fully accounted for.
The debate largely favors an audit for accountability and to dispel long-standing conspiracy theories, though some note logistical challenges (e.g., it could take 18+ months) and official assurances that no full external audit is necessary.
Fox Business (Feb 17, 2025): "Elon Musk's DOGE prepares to audit US gold reserves at Fort Knox after urging by Sen. Rand Paul"
Sen. Rand Paul strongly argues yes — no yearly review exists, more transparency ("sunlight") is needed to confirm the reserves back the dollar's trust, and he's pushed for this for a decade.

Brave New Coin (Feb 17, 2025): "Elon Musk, DOGE, and the Fort Knox Gold Audit: An Overdue Reckoning?"
Argues yes, it's long overdue for legitimacy and to counter resistance from institutions; demand for transparency is "legitimate and necessary" amid no comprehensive external audit since the 1950s.

Nasdaq (2025): "Musk Proposes DOGE Audit of Fort Knox Gold Reserves"
Financial analysts say yes — lack of transparency could erode confidence in U.S. reserves, especially as global central banks boost gold holdings; Musk/DOGE involvement could push accountability.

JMBullion (2025): "Can Fort Knox Be Audited? Here’s How Long It Could Potentially Take"
Discusses DOGE's initial pledge (which didn't fully happen) and notes Rep. Thomas Massie's bill for independent audits every 5 years; implies yes for verification, but highlights massive logistical hurdles (18+ months, specialized teams).

Noble Gold Investments (Apr 4, 2025): "Economic Impacts of the Fort Knox Audit"
Proponents argue yes to boost government transparency and reduce skepticism/conspiracy theories; no recent independent audits fuel doubts despite Treasury claims.

Newsweek (Feb 17, 2025): "Is Elon Musk Auditing Fort Knox’s Gold Reserve? What We Know"
Explores encouragement from lawmakers/social media for DOGE to do it; experts say it could restore citizen confidence, though officials insist reviews occur and there's "no reason to doubt" the gold is there.

As of mid-January 2026, the idea still circulates in online discussions (e.g., US Debt Clock posts asking "Should DOGE Audit Fort Knox Gold Reserves?"), but no full DOGE-led audit materialized in 2025 despite initial buzz and Trump/Musk interest. Treasury maintains annual audits confirm everything is intact. If you'd like summaries of specific arguments or more recent X chatter, let me know!
Don't forget the THOUSANDS of tons of gold from the Vatican.
Yes! Was just wondering about that with u/TaQo

Silver is $93+ right now...

With prejudice.
Come on people, of course it was audited. You think Trump doesn't / didn't know EXACTLY how much gold is where, and who actually OWNS it?
Paaaalllllleeeeesssseeee. Now, giving out the information is a totally different story. Since we're in an information war, the decision must have been made to hold back the info so specific moves can be made.
Lastly, we WILL have a new financial system (Gold Destroys FED) the FED and the FRN will go bye-bye. Gold (and maybe Silver) WILL be a part of a backing of the new currency, so yes, the right people in the Admin know what's going on and will make all the right decisions to reach the goal of killing Global Central Banks of which the FED is DRACULA.
Yes
Yes, they should -- every year.
YES, Please!
And put all the gold on ledger
Why does this remind me of Geraldo trying to open some dead gangsters vault on live TV, only to find nothing in there?
Nothing? WTH?
USAID alone was worth it. What about the duplicate/dead people SSNs being found and removed?
Where's a folding chair when you need one, right?
There's cheesy dibbles at Ft Knox! A whole vending machine full!!!
Didn't DOGE shut down?
Good question! But I think a better question is WHAT is DOGE doing now? IIRC, Doge "teams" are now embedded in many (key) agencies doing some stuff.
However, what I think (pure speculation, but a working hypothesis) is: I think DOGE (under Elon) deployed AI into Govt. systems. This AI will do much more work, much faster and without "prejudice" (I know, I know, training...blah blah blah). I also believe that this AI was training specifically to do the job of Auditing, tracking, and reporting on EVERY SINGLE PENNY of Govt. funds all across the globe.
We have it already.... still in the drip, drip, drip phase, but when the FLOOD is released, there will be RECEIPTS.
Sure, right after they check Area 51 for... well... consider the vastness of space ;)

I don't know if it should be DOGE. But it should be audited honestly.
Yes.
I thought we already talked about this very publicly almost a year ago. What is this shit?
If you have to ask…..Then yes!
Yes.
OF COURSE!
me: When did trump shut down DOGE?
Gemini AI: The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was officially disbanded in November 2025.
[DOGE] anit Auditing anything.
Others are still investigating fraud just not operating as DOGE.
It's probably all gold painted tungsten at this point 😂
