Cursor just dropped "Origin," a GitHub competitor.
Cursor is moving way beyond "VS Code with AI." They just teased Origin, a Git-compatible forge whose landing page describes it as a tool built for "the agentic era," with code "moving faster than any infrastructure was built to handle." It's currently waitlist-only.
Just saw reports that SpaceX acquired Cursor in an all-stock deal valued at $60 billion.
This is one of the most insane startup outcomes we've ever seen:
Cursor was founded only ~4 years ago.
The reported price tag would make it one of the largest startup acquisitions in history.
It went from "just a VS Code wrapper" jokes to becoming the default AI coding tool for a huge number of developers.
SpaceX/xAI would instantly gain access to one of the most valuable datasets in AI: how millions of developers actually write, edit, debug, and ship code.
