Abstract
In 2016, Erik Verlinde proposed a new theory of gravity called "emergent gravity" by using mathematical formulas used in the theory of elasticity. In 2017, De-Chang Dai and Dejan Stojkovic claimed to point out inconsistencies in Verlinde's emergent gravity. We point out that their claim was based on misunderstanding of the dictionary between emergent gravity and theory of elasticity. In addition, we propose a slightly different formula for Verlinde's emergent gravity.
