Or is it "the tone"?

Yes, the tone. Whatever your intention might have been, it could be read as putting blame on the recipient.

Hi,
I just want to report something :

Hyperloop TT, after tricking and draining French subventions, is now going to Italy to do the same.

This article is in French but I'm sure you can use a translation tool or find info in other languages : https://www.bfmtv.com/economie/entreprises/transports/apres-son-fiasco-hyperloop-quitte-definitivement-toulouse-et-rebondit-en-italie_AV-202402270547.html

One quote translated : "[HTT] is currently dismantling the infrastructure planned for testing this “train of the future” to move it to Italy."
The correct word would have been dismembered... (it has been literally cut in pieces with oxyacetylene).

Here is the new (fairly recent) promotion video  :
All the shiny "live action" stuff has been shot in Toulouse (France) several years ago, but I can tell you the real stuff is now a bit less shiny...

I hope Italians are able to stop this project before the same happens there.
Thanks
