Elon Musk\u2019s aerospace company, SpaceX<\/a>, recently announced that it has secured the option to buy the AI code-generation startup, Cursor, or pay for their partnership. SpaceX and Musk\u2019s AI startup xAI merged in February this year. If finalised, the deal would strengthen xAI\u2019s position in the AI coding space, an area where the Grok chatbot developer has struggled to keep up with competitors. The partnership will also give Cursor more computing capacity to develop AI models.<\/p>\n Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX took to social media on April 21 to announce that the company has acquired the option to buy Cursor for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for their partnership. The post read, \u201cSpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world\u2019s best coding and knowledge work AI.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe combination of Cursor\u2019s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX\u2019s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world\u2019s most useful models. Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together,\u201d the post stated.<\/p>\n For those unversed, Cursor is a Silicon Valley startup that uses artificial intelligence<\/a> to automate coding. Many such startups have found commercial success in this business model. Meanwhile, Colossus is xAI\u2019s supercomputer cluster in Memphis. xAI has touted Colossus as the world\u2019s largest supercomputer cluster and has spent billions on AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n SpaceX has announced this news ahead of its public debut later this year. Last month, Forbes<\/a> reported that the company filed with the Federal Communications Commission for approval to launch up to\u00a01 million satellites in January 2026. SpaceX is targeting a valuation between $1.5 trillion and $1.75 trillion and a June 2026 public debut. The valuation suggests that the company could fundraise $50 billion or more, creating history as the biggest IPO.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Ankita Shaw on Mandatory<\/a><\/p>\n The post Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX Acquires Right To Buy AI Startup Cursor<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo Credit: Fabrice COFFRINI \/ AFP via Getty Images Elon Musk\u2019s aerospace company, SpaceX, recently announced that it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12613,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[6541,140,658,2899],"class_list":{"0":"post-12612","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-xai","8":"tag-cursor","9":"tag-elon-musk","10":"tag-spacex","11":"tag-xai"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
