A leaked email sent by Elon Musk to Twitter staff shows that he threatened to sue employees who leak confidential information to the media. Musk's emails and other internal communications have repeatedly been leaked to media outlets since he bought the company in late October. The leaked email about leaks said Twitter will aggressively enforce non-disclosure agreements going forward.

"As evidenced by the many detailed leaks of confidential Twitter information, a few people at our company continue to act in a manner contrary to the company's interests and in violation of their NDA," the Musk email said, according to a Twitter thread by journalist Zoë Schiffer of tech news site Platformer.

"This will be said only once: If you clearly and deliberately violate the NDA that you signed when you joined, you accept liability to the full extent of the law & Twitter will immediately seek damages," Musk wrote, according to Schiffer's account posted Saturday. Schiffer wrote that she was "choosing not to post the actual email as it's clear Twitter is doing everything it can to catch sources."
