Completely agree. I was told a lot of bad things this guy did and was upset that no one cared to investigate, so responded in what I felt was off the record. In the past, Buzzfeed has respected emails prefaced with 'off the record', but this time they did not. It was still one of the dumbest things I've ever done and this distraction couldn't come at a worse time.

About this email

In a second email to his PR adviser, Musk says he had been told bad things about Unsworth, was upset nobody investigated, and calls his email to BuzzFeed one of the dumbest things he has done.
