SpaceX in talks to buy Cursor for about $60B to boost coding AI; FTX‑era stake once sold for $200K
SpaceX moves to acquire Anysphere's Cursor for roughly $60 billion amid an accelerated AI push [1][2].
SpaceX is in talks to partner with and potentially acquire Anysphere, the developer of the AI coding tool Cursor, in a deal that reports value at about $60 billion [1] [2] [3].
Cursor is an AI-powered code editor that integrates large language model capabilities directly into the developer environment; coverage says the move aligns with CEO Elon Musk’s broader push into artificial intelligence at SpaceX [1] [3].
Reports also note SpaceX’s AI expansion coincides with discussions of a possible public listing, and earlier funding history shows an Alameda Research stake in Anysphere was sold during FTX liquidation for roughly $200,000, according to coverage of the company’s financing [1] [4].
Multiple outlets report the talks and option terms, but details and any final agreement have not been confirmed in public filings as of the cited reports [3] [1].
