These guys basically started the lab leak conspiracy too

The Fort Knox conspiracy theory seems to have begun with this exchange on X. 2 days later Fox ran a segment about it. A few days after that Trump began bringing it up w reporters. Hard to overstate how much influence posters on a far-right forum have over the national conversation right now

Zerohedge is a freak and a loser

Well, there goes the gold.

jessicamuss.bsky.social•12 hours ago

My great grandfather used to guard the gold! He used to bring home packets of gold dust for my mom when she was little. Elon should probably investigate that misappropriation of gold.

brianwlewis.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Ha. Russian propaganda is trying to convince a walking security risk to go where the gold is.

I hate that this administration is basically My Drunk Uncles At Thanksgiving.

‘Oh maybe Elon should, in addition to have access to all our bank accounts though there is no fucking way he would reasonably have a security clearance, have access to for knox’

This is just. Fuck everything

Why do they want Elon to audit it? I’m pretty sure he can’t even count that high.

Wait until they discover this thing called "fiat currency."

Fucking zero hedge.

groschopf.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Zerohedge?

*fucking Zerohedge*?

There's a name I've only heard on Knowledge Fight and absolutely nowhere else until today.

This is literally a Terry Pratchett plot.

These people are beyond parody.

Fort Knox isn’t empty and all the gold is there. But also who tf cares if it isn’t? Like what does it matter? The reason it matters to these dorks is because something something (((they))) took it.

Making money is an excellent guide to this right down to what happens when the gold is gone. https://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/books/making-money/

I am pretty sure these guys are in the middle of the venn diagram of the lab leak conspiracy people and the people who think inflation is because te U.S. has abandoned the gold standard...

hexagonal.bsky.social•12 hours ago

The conspiracy theory is actually kind of old and also involved Ron Paul somehow? https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2011/06/14/is-gold-in-fort-knox-real-ron-paul-wants-to-know.html

Please tell me Geraldo Rivera will be there to report on the heist when they get ready for the big reveal. . .

shesquiteadelight.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Well, with that killer bod, I can tell he is a smart disciplined young man.

faustianfool.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Zerohedge also seems to come up in a lot of defamation cases from right wing media weirdos too.

sneakys.bsky.social•12 hours ago

With enough planning, we could probably create a conspiracy that results in Elon getting locked in a closet for days.

catladybel.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I really want him to go inspect Fort Knox and get locked in. We’ll see how he’s doing in another 50 years.

mxartsypants.bsky.social•12 hours ago

So perhaps I am an idiot because I thought we got off the gold standard a long ass time ago so there was no gold in Fort Knox. Was there never gold in fort know? Are we will on the gold standard?

alyssabones.bsky.social•9 hours ago

I hope they go check it and it’s a cask of amontillado situation and he has to build a new gold toilet to poop in because he’s stuck there

Zerohedge has been bleating about tungsten at Fort Knox for at least a decade.

crysxx.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Ok, day by day, at this point, I’m getting whiplash. These men are stuck in like 2008. Fort Knox??????? I can hear every other white suburban father within miles of where I grew up muttering about “they’re controlling the weather” and “gold bullion gold standard gold bricks something something” fml

elgatotroxel.bsky.social•12 hours ago

This is an old Bircher conspiracy theory though. I heard about it as a kid.

goatheadedgoat.bsky.social•4 hours ago

I’m not saying someone should find out where zerohedge is located in russia but someone should find out where zerohedge is located in russia
