Did you read the headline or the actual email? This is definitely not non-hostile. He flat out says "I don't care about the team"

[exe34]

no, he said it wasn't his priority. his business isn't in building teams, it's in advertising.

I don't generally like people like him, but I don't think he's done anything wrong here . he was actually very clear about what he wanted, a great feature in a boss.

He said he doesn’t care about fixing the team as a stand alone objective. Which is fine by me, because it’s probably a bullshit excuse for them not getting things done anyway.

"Separately, I just don't understand why this app is so hard to build."

That doesn’t sound hostile to me, it sounds like an invitation for somebody to tell him why it’s harder than he thinks, or to get on with the job.
