Could #Trump and #ElonMusk simply go to #FortKnox to check the #gold #reserve themselves, or does that require additional authorization?

Trump and Elon couldn’t just show up at Fort Knox to check the gold reserves themselves—there are strict legal and security barriers in place. Fort Knox, officially the United States Bullion Depository, is managed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and guarded by the U.S. Army as a highly secure military facility. Access is heavily restricted, even for prominent figures.

### Legal Requirements:

**Treasury Approval**

Since Fort Knox is a civilian facility under the Treasury Department, explicit permission from the current Treasury Secretary (currently Scott Bessent) would be required. Without it, even the President wouldn’t automatically have entry rights.

**Security Protocols**

Any visit, regardless of who’s involved, is subject to rigorous security measures, including detailed planning and vetting by the military and the U.S. Mint Police, who oversee protection.

**Congressional Oversight**

Historically, visits to Fort Knox—like the last publicly known one in 1974 by members of Congress—were arranged through formal requests and approvals. A spontaneous “surprise visit” would bypass this process, raising legal questions.

### Trump’s Role as President:

As President, Donald Trump could theoretically order an inspection, but it would need to go through official channels. His authority as Commander-in-Chief and head of the executive branch gives him leverage, but the Treasury Department would have to be involved. Acting unilaterally without coordination could spark political and bureaucratic friction.

### Elon’s Role:

Elon Musk, as a private citizen or even in a hypothetical advisory role, has no legal authority to demand access. Even if Trump wanted him involved, Musk would need separate approval as an external party, requiring additional security clearances and formalities.

### Practical Reality:

Fort Knox’s security is legendary—20-ton vault doors, biometric locks, a military perimeter, and a multi-layered access system make an unannounced visit impossible. Even for a President, a spur-of-the-moment trip wouldn’t be feasible without prior notification of on-site personnel.

### Conclusion:

Without prior authorization and coordination with the Treasury Department and security agencies, neither Trump nor Musk could simply walk into Fort Knox. Trump, as President, could initiate the process, but it would be a formal undertaking, not an impromptu outing. Musk alone, without official clearance, wouldn’t stand a chance. The idea of a livestream, as Musk hinted at, would further require extensive planning, given the security-sensitive nature of the facility’s layout and operations.

Sorry Elon, the audit is cancelled.

We need to print! 💸

no?

I’ve heard they save a copy of your seed phrase through email—so in other words, you lost it. Anyway, I would never trust a hardware wallet without a display.

To escape all the advertisements and live free online. 🦩

You can just live the life you've always wanted.

GM to all my Cybernetic Counterculturalist out there.

You are not alone. We are just decentralised. Keep doing what you’re doing. ⚡️

The future we working on will be great. 🧡

Great Movie ⚡️ ✨

I’ve been done it for over 7yrs.

Being alone and isolated is great but most people ngmi because they are stuck in the system with their problems.

In addition, many cannot spend time alone with themselves because the negative thoughts of their problems catch up with them or bad things they have done. Many people think that they can run away from their responsibilities and thoughts-but at some point they will be caught up. If you can stand being alone in solitude long enough, you will automatically have to go through shadow work and eventually heal.

I can only recommend it to everyone.

It's worth the effort. 🫶💚🫶

Genau dort! 💚
