SpaceX
on Tuesday announced it entered a formal agreement to buy the artificial intelligence startup Cursor for $60 billion worth of stock, a hotly anticipated deal.

The announcement comes just days after Elon Musk’s rocket-maker debuted on the Nasdaq in the biggest initial public offering ever.

Cursor built a popular AI coding tool that helps software developers generate, edit and review code, and the company has experienced explosive growth since its founding in 2022.

Musk merged SpaceX with his AI startup, xAI, earlier this year, and the Cursor deal looks set to help revitalize the company’s efforts to compete with rivals like Anthropic and OpenAI, which also offer popular coding tools.

Cursor is a Nebius customer

As a NBIS investor I’ll take 330bn from Elon, but not a dollar less :)

As I started in the other thread. This looks like they should break the deals with Google and anthropic on the rental of Colossus data center.

Probably going to hurt near term revenue for sure, but they were going to lose money no matter what

Does this mean the TESLA acquisition is off the table?

Who was allowed to buy FTX's stake?

Also, I believe Cursor was founded in 2022 by 4 MIT kids, some of whom dropped out.

The start up economics are insane now. $60B in 4 years!

I’ll bet he was already numb from watching the administrator liquidate FTXs BTC at $60k before it ran to $120k.
