SpaceX acquires Cursor for $60B, consolidating AI coding tools with compute infrastructure

SpaceX officially closed its $60B acquisition of Cursor, the AI code-gen startup. Cursor trained Grok 4.5/4.6 and now joins SpaceXAI, gaining access to SpaceX's massive GPU fleet (previously rented to Anthropic and Google). Revenue projections of $2.5B in 2026 and $13B in 2027 are staggering. This signals deep consolidation in AI coding tools and vertical integration with compute infrastructure, reshaping the competitive landscape for AI coding assistants and raising questions about Cursor's future independence and pricing.
