I assumed that the gigapress was a large stamping die. neither casting (melt the metal and pour it into a mold) or forging (shaping softened hot metal), but deforming cold metal in one or more steps using alot of pressure and a very hard mold.

Yes, but that's the way it is with Musk. Nothing is actually what it claims to be.

  They literally call them castings and have done so since the first time Tesla talked about them. And its still a 'press' its just a casting press not a stamping press. Is complaining about literally everything Musk related now just the default even when it doesn't make even the slightest amount of sense?

    So it's your contention that Idra Group came up with the term / misnomer Giga Press and not Tesla / Musk?

      No its most like Tesla/Musk that came up with the term. But it is in fact a press and its a bad name, hence Idra also calling it that.
