## Resource

SpaceX just dropped a $60 billion bombshell by acquiring AI coding startup Cursor, a move that underscores their aggressive push into AI as rivals like Anthropic and OpenAI close in. The deal, set to finalize in Q3, gives SpaceX full ownership of Cursor — a San Francisco-based tool beloved by elite coders and credited with popularizing “vibe coding.” With access to xAI’s massive Colossus data center in Memphis, Cursor will fuel next-gen AI development, while its tech ties to Anthropic and OpenAI highlight its collaborative roots. This acquisition, announced just after SpaceX’s Wall Street debut, signals a bold strategy to dominate the AI race and leverage cutting-edge talent.
