SpaceX just dropped a deal to either buy AI coding startup Cursor for sixty billion dollars or pay ten billion just to work together—and that ten billion is basically a breakup fee if they bail. Cursor went from a 2.5 billion valuation in January to nearly 30 billion by November, then canceled their next fundraising round when SpaceX showed up with this absurd offer. The whole thing reeks of desperation after Musk admitted his own AI coding tool was getting destroyed, poached two senior Cursor engineers, and now apparently decided if you can't beat them, buy them for the GDP of a small country.
