Elon Musk says he will spend more time at Tesla, but the White House expects him to continue “dedicating a lot of his time”’ to supporting the president.

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.
