SpaceX to buy AI ‘vibe-coding’ platform Cursor for US$60b

SpaceX says it has the rights to buy artificial intelligence (AI) coding tool Cursor for US$60 billion later this year as Elon Musk’s space exploration and AI company looks for ways to compete with rivals Anthropic and OpenAI ahead of a planned Wall Street debut. SpaceX said that, alternatively, it could pay US$10 billion to “work together” with Cursor. SpaceX announced the deal on Tuesday on the social platform X, which along with the AI chatbot Grok is part of a constellation of properties that Musk has merged into his rocket company.
