The value of n is still unknown, but new results constrain it to fall between 8 and 10^500, ruling out popular ‘n=1’ and ‘n=2’ theories.

      Curious, according to whom? Outside of just unsourced reports of its market cap, the estimates on its valuation are less than half that number.

      I really cannot find a news source.

        According to their ass, private companies don’t have a market cap, they’re not on the market.

        Hmm you’re right, honestly I just googled and saw the same exact number with a decimal point shifted, so I put two and two together

        As for whether that number is actually a valid valuation, I’ve not got the information to say
