Federal workers union blasts Musk over accomplishments email
Everett Kelley, the president of the American Federation of Government Employees, criticized Musk and Trump after federal workers received an email that demanded they detail what they "accomplished" -- or be terminated.
Kelley said he would challenge "any unlawful terminations of our members and federal employees across the country."
"It is cruel and disrespectful to hundreds of thousands of veterans who are wearing their second uniform in the civil service to be forced to justify their job duties to this out-of-touch, privileged, unelected billionaire who has never performed one single hour of honest public service in his life," he said in a statement.
A White House official, however, told ABC News it's up to each federal employee's manager to determine if their answers to the email are satisfactory.
If an employee misses the deadline of Monday night, it's also up to the discretion of the manager, the official claimed.
If an employee's manager determines the federal worker is not meeting the criteria, he or she can go through the agency process to report the employee and possibly get them fired, the official claimed.
