SpaceX eyes $60B AI deal

The potential acquisition represents a major shift in SpaceX's business plan as it moves closer to going public.

Cursor, a four-year-old startup, has gained rapid popularity for its AI-driven coding assistants, and the deal would place SpaceX in direct competition with tech giants like Microsoft and Google.

If the buyout does not proceed, SpaceX has committed to a 10-billion-dollar partnership to integrate Cursor's technology into its operations.

This move comes as protesters gathered outside the company's Starbase facility in Texas, raising concerns about the environmental impact of SpaceX's expanding footprint and its ambitious plans for space-based AI data centers.
