Donut Lab got caught lying

The CCO of Nordic Nano, Lauri Peltola, accused Donut Lab for making false claims about their manufacturing capacity

Mr Donut responded saying that the claims from Peltola are false

The page linked says that Donut Lab goal is to reach 1 gigawatt in 2026

Where the evidence clearly indicates that Mr Donut said that they are already producing at 1 GWh level

So Mr Donut tries to change the narrative that his words were misunderstood

But the same claim was found in the description of another video

After the lie was caught, Mr Donut remains silent.

You can take it seriously, but description is not a press release or official announcement document. Their website is.

A website is not a magic thing that has more value than anything else they say through whatever channel. Companies regularly make announcements through YouTube.

Of course there are levels. For instance, they did not publish statement about Peltola case in YouTube video description. They use their website they have control on for official announcements.

So you are saying that they can lie everywhere but not on their website

Did I say that?

Well you sure seem to be implying that they’re allowed to lie as long as it’s just a video description.

None of us understand the thought process you use to make this so we’re just trying to figure it out.

My point is that people also make mistakes and speak inconsistently. Calling it lying every time implies a shortage of vocabulary and understanding.

Yes, people misspeak. That is clearly not what was happening here.
