To:: Elon Musk

Apologies, as the tone of that didn't come across well. We are all still very much on board with the concept of a tube for safe evacuation. Though there does need to be a much more thorough investigation of all the matters mentioned in my previous mail. I'm not going to be available for the rest of the day

About this email

Stanton apologises and says the dive team supports the tube concept but the engineering details need more investigation.

Notes

Musk Decl. Ex. C (email chain with British cave diver Richard Stanton, July 6-8, 2018). The exhibit prints the chain newest-first with timestamps from two mail clients (Pacific time and Thailand time), so the exact send time of individual messages is uncertain; the date is a best reading. Transcribed from a scanned exhibit; minor OCR variance possible. Musk posted screenshots of part of this chain on Twitter on July 10, 2018.
