## Resource

SpaceX will be acquiring AI coding startup Cursor for $60 billion. AI venture capitalist Michael Fertik was that company’s first investor, and he explains why a software vibe coding company is a good match for Elon Musk’s AI ambitions. Victor Riparbelli, CEO of AI video platform Synthesia, was at the AI working lunch at the G7 in France, in the room with Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis, Marc Benioff, and world leaders including President Trump. Riparbelli discusses the group’s effort to collaborate on AI guardrails, while maintaining the pace of innovation. The U.S. and Iran have signed the Memorandum of Understanding to end the war in Iran, but CNBC’s Eamon Javers indicates that there are more negotiations still to come. Plus, CNBC’s Steve Liesman reports on Kevin Warsh’s first meeting as Federal Reserve Chairman.
