SpaceX has received approval to acquire the AI startup Cursor for $60 billion
The American aerospace company SpaceX has announced a major partnership with Cursor, a startup specializing in the development of AI for programmers.
Details of the strategic alliance were officially announced on the X platform.
Under the signed agreement, the company has secured the right to acquire the startup for a record $60 billion or receive a payment of $10 billion for joint operations.
Currently, both teams have already begun close collaboration aimed at creating the world’s most advanced toolkit for writing code using neural networks.
“Cursor has granted SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or to pay $10 billion for our joint work,” the company said in a statement.
This decision underscores Elon Musk’s ambition to strengthen the technological capabilities of his empire.
A key factor in the success of the new collaboration is expected to be the combination of efforts in the areas of computing power and software solutions.
The company plans to integrate the startup’s products with its own supercomputer for training artificial intelligence models.
“Combining Cursor’s leading product and its adoption by experienced software developers with SpaceX’s Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to create the most useful models in the world,” SpaceX representatives emphasized.
The startup’s management also expressed optimism about the future results of the collaboration.
Cursor CEO Michael Truewell noted that support from such a giant will help significantly scale their work, particularly the Composer AI model.
“I’m excited to partner with the SpaceX team to scale Composer. This is a significant step on our journey to creating the best place for AI-powered coding,” Michael Truehill wrote on social media.
