Source evidence
1 src · 1 checkNoteThe record claims raised=$10B and valuation=$29B for date=2023-01. The source confirms the $29B valuation ('valuing the company at around $29 billion') and mentions $10B as a potential investment ceiling ('investment as high as $10 billion'). However, the source explicitly states the exact investment amount 'wasn't disclosed' and describes the $10B figure as part of 'one proposal detailed by Semafor' — a reported proposal, not confirmed fact. The $29B valuation is also attributed to 'sources previously reported' rather than official confirmation. The date (2023-01) aligns with the article's January 2023 timeframe. The record presents reported/proposed figures as if they were confirmed facts, when the source indicates these were unconfirmed reports and proposals at the time of writing.
