SpaceX acquires Cursor for $60B — biggest startup exit ever in just 4 years?

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.

Needless to say, a lot has changed on this platform in a year.
