I get it and yet I don't. On one hand, my experience with Cursor (albeit limited) tells me that it's a perfect fit with Elon's other ventures. Then again, I don't see how there's anything so special about it that SpaceXAI would want to acquire it for either the software itself or the talent behind it. It seems more likely that acquiring Cursor is a way to get more users for Grok, seeing as how it still has a very small share of the market.

Keep in mind while this is the date they officially became part of SpaceX, they have already been collaborating on building models together. So don't expect a significant bump in performance on new Grok models due to the additional data from Cursor--that bump already happened with Grok 4.5[1] and now 4.6.

Isn't it SpaceXAI now? I lost track.

Shame.

I swear I actually laughed out loud with this, is this a joke?

They were not joking

...and I won't be revisiting Cursor again.

Eeeewww. Grok. Off to look at Zed.

...to the moon?
