Cursor Is Reinventing Itself as SpaceX Deal Looms

Cursor, the coding startup set to be acquired by SpaceX for $60 billion later this year, has been mapping out a major transformation.

Michael Truell, Cursor’s CEO, told staff in a companywide meeting in May that the company aims to become a top-tier AI model developer, according to three people who heard the comments, a shift from its roots of specializing in coding.

Cursor has also accelerated hiring in sales and growth roles, though it has made smaller cuts elsewhere.
