SpaceX's $60 billion Cursor AI deal isn't just about compute. It's a three-part bet on distribution, the Colossus supercomputer, and the humans behind the code.
Partnering with Cursor could be a crucial step for Elon Musk to get ahead of AI rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic.
Only Elon would do this before an IPO.
Artificial intelligence startup Cursor in talks to raise a $2 billion fundraising round at an over $50 billion valuation, which does not include the investment.
Elon Musk's rocket company is securing a "privateer" for the AI coding war. As SpaceX targets a $1.75 trillion IPO, 25-year-old Michael Truell is sitting on the tech deal of the decade.
The potential acquisition comes as Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite maker, which has been emphasizing artificial intelligence, is preparing to go public.
Prior to SpaceX's announcement that it's agreed to a potential purchase of Cursor, Microsoft looked at buying the AI coding startup.
SpaceX says it has the rights to buy artificial intelligence coding tool Cursor for $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.
This move frees Cursor from reliance on Anthropic and OpenAI models, and tees up SpaceX for an even bigger IPO.
