Latest news seems to indicate that Softbank is considering investing at a ~$40B valuation.. considerably lower than the $69B number floating around. And although it is probably just a negotiation tactic, they claim to be considering an investment in Lyft instead.

To elaborate, iirc Softbank wants to buy at a 30% discount to the latest topline paper price (which is entirely fair).
