President Donald Trump raised $239 million for his inauguration in January, nearly four times the $62 million Joe Biden raised in 2021. Tech companies like Meta, Amazon, and Google each gave $1 million.

Measured from Trump's inauguration on 20 January, the 130-day limit - assuming Musk, who brags about working weekends, clocks roughly five days a week at Doge - would run out toward the end of May. But scaling back would extend that timeframe. Additionally, the 130-day limit would reset in January 2026.
