Cursor is now a part of SpaceX

Hopefully they can unify the harnesses now. Weird how there's both grok build and cursor-agent at the same time.

Elon is still all in on replacing programmers. He listens to always the same stupid booster accounts (XFreeze etc.).

Good that there is now an administration that creates jobs, does not engage in foreign wars and has ended the Ukraine war in 24 hours.

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.

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.
