Something big is brewing.
Donald Trump just announced he’s heading to Fort Knox with none other than Elon Musk. The reason? To check if the gold is actually still there.
Now, that might sound like a wild conspiracy theory to some, but ask yourself this—when was the last time anyone really verified America’s gold reserves? The last full audit was in the 1950s. Since then, we’ve been expected to take the government’s word for it.
And we all know how that usually turns out.
Trump’s statement raises a bigger question: How much of what we’re told about our economy is actually true? From inflation numbers to digital currency pushes, the people in charge have a habit of keeping the real story under lock and key—kind of like Fort Knox itself.
If the gold is there, great. But if it’s not? That’s a whole different ballgame.
Either way, this should remind us of one thing: real assets matter. Whether it’s gold, silver, or other tangible stores of value, putting blind faith in a system that’s built on IOUs and “trust us” policies is a dangerous game.
