NoteThe claim states '33,000+ signatories' but the source shows '31810' signatures at the time of publication (22 March 2023). The claim specifies 'as of 2023-03' which aligns with the publication date. The signature count of 31,810 falls short of 33,000+ by approximately 1,190 signatures (~3.6% difference). While this is within a reasonable margin for rounding or growth over a few days, the claim's specific figure of '33,000+' is not directly confirmed by the source's stated 31,810. The source confirms the 6-month moratorium call and the March 2023 publication date. The source mentions Elon Musk in media coverage but does not provide a complete list of named signatories (Yoshua Bengio, Stuart Russell, Steve Wozniak) in the excerpt, making those specific names unverifiable from this source alone, though not contradicted.
