Cursor is now a part of SpaceX

I'm hoping Cursor becomes the third biggest (American) AI model company, replacing Google. Elon works best with top talent, and I think Cursor most kept its team together; were there any big departure from there recently?

Elon is still all in on replacing programmers. He listens to always the same stupid booster accounts (XFreeze etc.).

Good that there is now an administration that creates jobs, does not engage in foreign wars and has ended the Ukraine war in 24 hours.

Keep in mind while this is the date they officially became part of SpaceX, they have already been collaborating on building models together. So don't expect a significant bump in performance on new Grok models due to the additional data from Cursor--that bump already happened with Grok 4.5[1] and now 4.6.

Subscription is gone the second I feel like their not running the inference at a loss

Isn't it SpaceXAI now? I lost track.

Hopefully they can unify the harnesses now. Weird how there's both grok build and cursor-agent at the same time.

Congrats to everyone at Cursor!

I get it and yet I don't. On one hand, my experience with Cursor (albeit limited) tells me that it's a perfect fit with Elon's other ventures. Then again, I don't see how there's anything so special about it that SpaceXAI would want to acquire it for either the software itself or the talent behind it. It seems more likely that acquiring Cursor is a way to get more users for Grok, seeing as how it still has a very small share of the market.

They were not joking

Shame.

Eeeewww. Grok. Off to look at Zed.

...and I won't be revisiting Cursor again.

...to the moon?

I swear I actually laughed out loud with this, is this a joke?
