Background

The Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E), associated with Elon Musk, has expressed interest in auditing Fort Knox's gold reserves. The last comprehensive audit of Fort Knox occurred in 1974, with only limited inspections since then. Recently, both Elon Musk and Senator Rand Paul have called for greater transparency regarding U.S. gold reserves, though no official audit has been scheduled.

Resolution Criteria

This market will resolve to YES if:

• The Department of Government Efficiency conducts and completes an official audit of Fort Knox and its gold reserves before December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM EST

• The audit results are publicly announced or officially documented

This market will resolve to NO if:

• No audit is conducted by the specified date

• An audit is announced but not completed by the deadline

Considerations

• Previous attempts to pass legislation for full audits, such as the Gold Reserve Transparency Act, have faced significant challenges

• The market concerns a novel situation, as D.O.G.E is a relatively new organization and has not previously conducted such audits

• Limited access and security protocols at Fort Knox may impact the feasibility of completing an audit within the specified timeframe
