SpaceX has officially acquired Cursor, the AI-powered coding assistant, confirming a deal that began with an option agreement in April. The acquisition, reportedly valued at $60 billion, integrates Cursor into Elon Musk's expanding AI ecosystem, which now includes xAI and the availability of SpaceX's computing power to external AI firms like Anthropic and Google.

Cursor stated that becoming part of SpaceX provides access to "the largest fleet of GPUs in the world." This move is expected to enable the company to build more robust AI models more affordably. "SpaceX is building the computing capacity needed to scale intelligence far beyond what exists today," Cursor noted. "Cursor will be one place where that intelligence becomes useful."

SpaceX is building the computing capacity needed to scale intelligence far beyond what exists today. Cursor will be one place where that intelligence becomes useful.

The integration is highlighted by Cursor's recent release of Grok 4.6, a model developed shortly before the acquisition announcement. Cursor, which started as a tool for completing short code snippets, has evolved into an AI teammate capable of handling larger projects. The company emphasized that its core mission remains unchanged: to help individuals with ambitious goals spend less time coding and more time solving complex problems.

This acquisition reflects a broader trend in the AI coding sector, where major computing providers are increasingly integrating developer tools with their core infrastructure businesses.

We still want to help people with ambitious ideas spend less time writing code and more time solving harder problems.
