Crispy enough to crunch, soft enough to enjoy. A good bake.
Summary
SpaceX, fresh off its IPO, is acquiring the programming platform Cursor for $60 billion in a move to strengthen its enterprise AI capabilities and compete with rivals like Anthropic and OpenAI. The deal follows a peculiar April arrangement where SpaceX agreed to either acquire Cursor for $60 billion or pay a $10 billion breakup fee.
