  We point out that recent Verlinde's proposal of emergent gravity suffers from
some internal inconsistencies. The main idea in this proposal is to preserve
general relativity at short scales where numerous tests verified its validity,
but modify it on large scales where we meet puzzles raised by observations (in
particular dark matter), by using some entropic concepts. We first point out
that gravity as a conservative force is very difficult (if possible at all) to
portray as an entropic force. We then show that the derivation of the MOND
relation using the elastic strain idea is not self-consistent. When properly
done, Verlinde's elaborate procedure recovers the standard Newtonian gravity
instead of MOND.
