/u/spez idolizes Musk and copies what he does, that’s all there is to it.

HughJanus OP ,

I think you’re probably right but “that’s all there is to it” is a bit disingenuous unless you know something I don’t.

I don't get why you'd think @Temperche is being disingenuous.

HughJanus OP ,

Because I haven’t seen and they haven’t provided any proof of that

Okay, but maybe don't jump straight to calling someone a liar just because they don't provide proof in their casual comment?

You didn't provide proof in your comment about Reddit losing VC funding due to interest rates, but that doesn't mean you're trying to mislead us.

HughJanus OP ,

Okay well…I didn’t call them a liar so…what the fuck are you even on about?

Sorry for the confusion, I think that's what disingenuous normally means.

Maybe you meant something else though.

HughJanus OP ,

That’s not at all what it means.

I'm willing to believe you, but when I googled I got the definition in my link, which is what I thought it meant.

Can you maybe tell me what you meant so next time I see someone call someone that, I can bear in mind it has more than one meaning?

HughJanus OP ,

Nothing about the definition you posted implies a lie.

Dishonest and insincere speech isn't lying?

Okay I don't really see the distinction, but I don't think @Temperche is being dishonest or insincere either.

Anyway, thanks for explaining.
