AI coding startup Cursor has officially joined Elon Musk’s SpaceX following the completion of an acquisition deal between the companies.
Cursor announced the completion of the transaction in a blog post, saying the deal will give it access to SpaceX’s extensive computing infrastructure.
SpaceX announced a partnership with Cursor in April to develop technology together, with the agreement also giving SpaceX an option to acquire the AI coding company for $60 billion.
Two months later, after SpaceX became a public company, the companies confirmed they would proceed with the acquisition.
The deal adds Cursor to SpaceX’s growing technology portfolio. SpaceX also acquired Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI earlier this year.
In announcing the completed acquisition, Cursor highlighted SpaceX’s computing infrastructure, which includes a large fleet of graphics processing units used to support AI workloads.
SpaceX has also been renting computing capacity to customers including Anthropic and Google.
Cursor said joining SpaceX would give it “access to the largest fleet of GPUs in the world,” potentially strengthening its ability to develop and deploy AI-powered coding tools.
SpaceX is building the computing capacity needed to scale intelligence far beyond what exists today,” the company added. “Cursor will be one place where that intelligence becomes useful.”
The deal comes as demand for computing infrastructure continues to rise alongside the rapid expansion of generative artificial intelligence.
