Actually, this deal was made under the Biden administration; so Biden gave Elon the money.

Someone should be getting arrested, but nobody has the balls to hold anyone in DOGE or the Trump administration accountable.

Musk Sets Sights on the Gold at Fort Knox

Elon Musk made a statement on Monday about his intention to look into Fort Knox, the U.S. gold reserve known for its high security.

“Looking for the gold at Fort Knox …” Musk wrote on X, the social media platform.

He also shared a post from Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who mentioned that he had been denied access to Fort Knox, a military base in Kentucky.

“Who is confirming that gold wasn’t stolen from Fort Knox? Maybe it’s there, maybe it’s not. That gold is owned by the American public! We want to know if it’s still there,” Musk added.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) also encouraged Musk to investigate further. Paul responded on X with “nope. Let’s do it,” after Musk asked whether the reserve gets reviewed every year.

Paul later spoke to Fox News about the need for more transparency regarding Fort Knox and its gold.

“I think some of them may not think it needs to be audited all the time, but I think the more sunlight, the better, more transparency, the better. And also, it brings attention to the fact that gold still has value and implicitly, not explicitly, but implicitly, gold still gives value to the dollar,” Paul said.

Fort Knox holds over 147 million troy ounces of gold, more than any other U.S. location, according to the Treasury Department. The site has a strict “no visitors” policy, though members of Congress were allowed to inspect the gold in 1974. Before that, President Franklin D. Roosevelt visited in 1943, according to the U.S. Mint.

Tesla was hit by a wave of protests over Musk, sales are crashing, insiders are waking up

Tesla was hit by a wave of protests across dozens of its stores in North America this weekend. With sales crashing and the board selling, it looks like some insiders are finally waking up.

As we reported last week, a grassroots movement has sprung to organize protests against Elon Musk at Tesla stores around North America.

The protests appear to have been quite successful, with primarily peaceful demonstrations in front of Tesla stores.

While most protests were peaceful and lawful, some vandalism did happen, with images of Tesla stores getting graffitied with anti-fascism phrases.

Groups supporting the protests, like Anonymous, say it is just the beginning and plan to keep putting pressure on Tesla to, in turn, put pressure on Musk.

As we previously reported, Tesla’s sales this year are crashing in Europe, where they release monthly data.

In the US, the data comes a bit later, and therefore, it’s hard to tell how much Tesla sales are being affected by the negative perception of its CEO, but these protests against Tesla are undoubtedly unprecedented.

We have often highlighted how Tesla’s board of directors, which has authority over the CEO, has been entirely silent on this situation – letting Musk do whatever he wants, including spending little time at Tesla while running X, xAI, SpaceX, Neuralink, Boring Company, and DOGE.

While the board remains silent, it sounds like there’s finally some pushback amongst Tesla insiders.

The Washington Post has obtained a recording from a recent staff meeting at Tesla where some have openly expressed concerns about Musk:
Employees and senior managers at a recent staff meeting at one Tesla division openly expressed concern that Musk is damaging the company’s business and sustainability mission, according to a recording obtained by The Washington Post.

That$400M deal with the Federal government should buy Musk more time. Of course that kind of wasteful government spending is somehow of little interest to Trump and Musk supporters.
