I think it's referring to the part where the web page says "that we’ve “sold out” due to “overwhelming demand”" when obviously there is no overwhelming demand at first. If you say there is huge demand for your product even though there isn't any, that's going a bit further than just "we're sold out". But since in the end the demand does pick up I get the argument that it's a grey area.

If you are selling nothing and have zero inventory any demand is technically overwhelming. It's still a lie though like almost all of his ways of getting a customer. But I find it refreshing how clear it is. Advertisers mostly pretend they are not lying which shapes wrong impression that advertisement can be honest. No, it can't if it is to be successful. Honest advertisement is just information and that's almost worthless for a seller.
