Elon Musk has now set his sights on the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox, insisting on personally ensuring the gold remains intact. The vault was last opened to journalists and a congressional delegation in 1974.

"Long-term recreational ketamine use was associated with lower gray matter volume & less white matter integrity, lower functional thalamocortical & corticocortical connectivity..this may explain some..long-term cognitive & psychiatric side effects, such as memory impairment & executive functioning.”
Who's going to stand up to musk? I'm ready to give my life and die for democracy! But I'm not just going to throw my life away, nor break the law! I know I'm a minion, a working person, but like you out there, I'm a lion too! We the people need to rise up, if we want our democracy back!
Yeah, but he doesn't realise that in the movie the currency was still backed by Gold...
So long as he's in the vault with the dirty bomb I've no issue with this... Lock it down and re-open it in 100 years or so once the radiation has returned to safe levels.
Well, we all know *something* happened in 1964 at Fort Knox. Operation Grand Slam sound familiar? I'm trying to get a lame conspiracy theory started here. Do your research!
It saddens me that this idea is associated with a work of popular fiction instead of part of the actual real history of the fall of the Roman Republic. George Martin didn't come up with that.
Legend says this is how the richest man in Rome, Crassus, was treated by his captors.
I hope that attempt is live streamed. It's a heavily armed and guarded fort. The military personal there take their responsibilities to heart. I so want Musk to try to physically push his way inside.
He's so fucking stupid. He is a cancerous cell in the body of human beings. All he does is thoughtlessly, purposelessly reroute energy/resources to himself. He has no idea what to do with any of it.
He does not deserve any of what he thinks he is "earning."
What the hell for? There is no fraud in a locked vault. He is a thief and he must be stopped.
Where is the bottom line for the GOP? They'd willingly give their mothers to this cretin.
Actually I haven't likely thought about Fort Knox is 51 years. I thought it was just a bank with a vault somewhere. Now I have to go do some 'research'. LOL.
Fort Knox & West Point Mint - guarded by the United States Mint Police - founded in 1792 - one of the oldest Federal Law enforcement Agencies created to protect America's SOVEREIGN WEALTH.
Pause to reflect...they GUARD US GOLD reserves.
So a SOUTH AFRICAN can just waltz right in there? Weak as.
WTF are you people doing about all of this? Are you freakin KIDDING [email protected]

Can you ask your co worker Senator Thune WHY this is continuing?
Why isn’t every single Democratic member of Congress ON THE GROUND at Fort Knox, with full court press?
When it comes to making GOOD TROUBLE y‘all are seriously FAILING!!‘
These folks need to put their gd bodies on the line. Seriously. They must intervene. Everywhere. And they need to have the press in tow. Everywhere.
Flood the fucking zone.
Democrats wanted Progressive Democrat Alexandria Ocasio Cortez because she doesn't have corporate donors. Nancy Pelosi wanted Hakeem Jeffries because he does.
True. As a lifelong Democrat (voting Dem for 62 years), I'm tired of corporate-owned Democrats in Congress.
Tired of old (over 75) white men & women in Congress, too, except for Bernie. Bernie is timeless!
Go AOC, Crockett, Buddigieg, & other young corporate-free progressives!
I held my nose (hard) and voted Dem for the past 3 cycles because the alternative has been Trump.
Anyone who’s delusional enough not to see it is partly responsible for this fiasco.
Berners, Steiners and protest-voters can kindly fuck off & go to the EU if they want their parliamentary democracy.
I support what Bernie says. I VOTED for Harris/Walz! Definitely better choice than Trump/Vance who ended up being Musk/Trump/Vance. And NOBODY voted for Elon Musk!
I'm not implying anything here. I'm just correcting the mistaken idea that the vault has been closed for so long. Mitch held a gold bar. I know nothing else.
Truck by truck, brick by brick QC is called for here. There could have been some replaced with painted bricks by one of those theivin' demon-rats of the 70's. Elon will have them all assayed and put back shortly. So, move along. Nothing to see here.
I mean, I never said that musk is the courier. He could just as easily be Elijah and just get trapped there while some random staffer walks out with the gold
No, he will need to bring special trucks that can carry the load. He's a junkie. If he could get 2 gold bars out of there on his own, he'd have a heart attack.
The gold is only representational as we don’t have a gold standard and much of it isn’t even ours but the idea of it and undermining it is totally a crypto stabilization move. Crypto is literally as imaginary as World of Warcraft’s exchange rate.
Not untrue but it is a visual representation. We haven’t taught history in half that time so people don’t realize money isn’t backed by anything but our military, economy and foreign policy. Those are also bout to take a punch
So Musk is tired of being Hugo Drax, and wants to be Auric Goldfinger instead? Makes sense, because that's the only way he could ever hope to get Pussy Galore...
I know that if I were him, I'd be wary of being near heavily armed folks who have sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. One of them might suddenly decide to take that oath seriously.
No, this hasn't gone far enough to warrant a military response, yet. The reason Musk said this about Ft Kox gold is that he wants to test the military. He'll get the same reception the CIA gave him, or worse.
He's testing boundaries, same as any toddler. The only difference will be the scale, scope and distribution of the pain from the resulting whipping. The pain is here. Who has control of dad's belt when the dust settles remains to be seen.
No, I don't. They aren't going to, either - or at least not as a group as the 'they' would imply. It wasn't the entire Mangione family that shot Brian Thompson, just Luigi. It's the lone guy with a conscience that should worry him.
His ego and power trip are beyond all belief. I didn't think I could dislike anyone politically more than Trump and McConnell, but lo and behold there is someone!
Is this a photo op? What exactly is he going to do there? Count the gold bars? Who gets let into Fort Knox without a thorough background investigation? Ludicrous!
You don't seriously think that there is actually gold being stored in fort Knox do you. There's been no need for that since they dropped the gold standard.
Why in the hell would this be necessary? That has nothing to do with cutting waste. Please tell me some of these dumbass followers of his can smell this for the bullshit it is?!?
I thought there was something, but I was thinking it was a QAnon thing. Of course they tend to absorb other conspiracy theories and add them to their ball of crazy, so I’m sure they’ve adopted it somewhere too.
Nothing suspect about this! Maybe he's less of a robber baron and more of a ROBBER.
He's giving corrupt dictator, kleptocrat, and friend of the USA Marcos vibes c1980.
That upper post and this lower post are related... please read upper & lower posts ..and thisviscrelated to all banks in America, bc Fort Knox is part of what keeps FDIC in place for ALL banks in America! ! #headsUp #headupsPeople
America, witness on this post and above and others, giving you a heads up about your money in ya Bank! And do not EVER say Democrats didn't Ever try to save your azzes bc we did so, so, so many times, it's Really & TRULY ridiculous!! Bc those days of blamin #Democrats, those fuckin' days are OVER!!
He has said he wants to transfer our treasury to the Blockchain. Not only are they hideous, they’re also going to ruin the environment with AI, the Blockchain, and crypto.
There's some fuckery going on. He's going to deny it's there (confirming conspiracy theories) & pocket it. Seems like I remember a documentary that said it's not just our gold either, other countries store theirs as well. Elons now
What is he actually going to do there? How is he going to ensure it remains any more intact than it is?
Let me guess, he goes there and there’s some missing? And they all just take his word for it that he didn’t take it

Not gonna argue with that.
At the same time, we would have said the same thing about Musk and twenty-somethings gaining access to every government institution.
In a normal world, no way. In a bizarro Trump world…🤷

It's a heist!
Goldnazi is available.
Wealthhorden Swastikarsen?
I mean, it just needs a better catch, but it's a wonderful idea for his title
HOW FN STUPID ARE YOU , GOP....HOW FN' STUPID ARE YOU??????????????

But so do we, and we aren’t getting paid for it.

Oh, time-locked for 100 hours. Okay.
Show us a storybook ending already!!!
HE’S NOT AN ELECTED OFFICIAL OF ANY KIND AND HAS NO AUTHORITY TO INSIST ON ANYTHING‼️
I'm liking BlueSky a lot, but not being able to edit is making me sad.
Just sayin'.
They bought the ticket - we take the ride.
This ride sucks.
Again, just sayin'.
It's like Romney in 2017.
Almost as if the once conservative party has rapidly lurched into authoritarian...
Looks like Destro is up to something
It was always about this....
We are being ROBBED!!
#DoubleSpeak
And then fElonia and Trump will steal the gold.
Mark my words.

Just a conspiracy theory though. Getting in some practice.
