White House says over a million federal employees replied to Musk email to give description of work

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says over one million federal employees responded to Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk's email requesting the send along five accomplishments from work last week.

“I can announce that we had more than one million workers who have chosen to participate in this very simple task of again sending five bullet points to your direct supervisor or manager, ccing OPM,” Leavitt said Tuesday.

She also said she also participated in the survey and that she often does five things in 10 minutes, according to The Washington Examiner

The federal workforce is made up of about three million employees, meaning one-third of them responded to the email.

Musk told federal workers last week that they must respond to a weekly email that asks them to provide a short description of their work in the week prior, but several department heads have told employees not to comply with the order.

These information requests come as the Trump administration seeks to downsize the federal workforce, and provide transparency and accountability in the federal government.
