AI coding startup Cursor is officially part of SpaceX, the company announced on Cursor’s blog. The two firms announced an agreement in April to collaborate on developing technology, and that agreement included an option for SpaceX to acquire Cursor for $60 billion. Two months later, as SpaceX became a public company, the parties said they would proceed with the acquisition.
Why this matters
Cursor stated that joining SpaceX gives it access to SpaceX’s computing infrastructure, including what the company described as “the largest fleet of GPUs in the world.” Cursor added that SpaceX is building the computing capacity needed to scale intelligence far beyond current levels, and that Cursor will be one place where that scaled intelligence becomes useful.
SpaceX has been renting out its computing resources to customers such as Anthropic and Google. At the same time, SpaceX faces a lawsuit alleging pollution from gas turbines used at its data centers.
Next steps
Cursor’s announcement did not provide additional financial details or a detailed integration timeline; it emphasized access to SpaceX’s compute resources and the implications for scaling Cursor’s products. According to the parties’ statements, the acquisition has now closed and Cursor is officially part of SpaceX.
