Contrary to those who expect Trump will claim gold is missing and probably is in Joe Biden's basement, I think he will come out of the vault claiming that no gold is missing and in fact we have MORE gold there than we thought, much more.
Then Trump can claim our deficit is much lower than we thought, maybe even non-existent, after offsetting the extra gold so that when the tax cuts for the ultra rich go into effect it will have no effect on the deficit whatsoever.

It is only worth $442 Billion usd.
Eloon is worth ( if he could liquidate everything ) $364 Billion usd
Maybe they plan to sell it off to pay for at least a little of the multi trillion dollar tax cuts for Elon and crew.
I'm sure the Chinese would want to buy it.
