Tech billionaire Elon Musk has once again stirred curiosity and controversy by suggesting he might live-stream a tour of the gold reserves at Fort Knox. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO took to X (formerly Twitter) to float the idea, sparking excitement, skepticism, and plenty of debate online.

A Bold Proposal

Musk, known for his unpredictable statements, hinted at the live-streamed tour of the U.S. gold reserves, a site that has long been the subject of speculation and conspiracy theories. The facility, managed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is considered one of the most secure locations in the world, housing a significant portion of the nation’s gold supply.

While Musk did not provide details on how or when this tour would take place, his post quickly gained traction, with thousands of users chiming in. Some supported the idea, saying it would bring transparency to a highly secretive facility, while others dismissed it as an unrealistic stunt.

Can Musk Actually Gain Access to Fort Knox?

Fort Knox is not open to the public, and very few people have been granted access over the decades. The last high-profile visit occurred in 1974, when a select group of journalists and congressmen were allowed inside to confirm the existence of the gold reserves.

Given Musk’s influence and connections, some speculate that he could secure a tour if government officials approve. Others argue that such an event would be unprecedented and unlikely due to national security concerns.

Public Reactions and Speculations

Reactions to Musk’s post have been mixed:
 Supporters see it as an opportunity for transparency, questioning whether the gold reserves are as full as claimed.
 Skeptics believe Musk is simply trolling the internet, much like his past tweets about buying major companies or launching bold new projects.
 Conspiracy theorists argue that a live-streamed tour would either expose hidden truths or confirm long-standing doubts about the reserves.

What’s Next?

So far, the U.S. government has not responded to Musk’s suggestion. Whether this idea is a genuine effort at transparency or just another attention-grabbing tweet remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain—if Musk does manage to pull off a Fort Knox live-stream, it would be one of the most extraordinary and talked-about events in modern history.
