The update
Following its recent Nasdaq listing and reaching a market capitalization of $2.5 trillion, SpaceX has announced the all-stock acquisition of Anysphere for $60 billion. Cursor, its flagship product, generates approximately $2.6 billion in annual B2B revenue. Previously reliant on Anthropic and OpenAI for underlying models, Cursor faced potential supply risks. By joining SpaceX, it will leverage xAI's supercomputing resources to train proprietary code models, reducing dependence on external vendors. This integration of AI coding capabilities with aerospace infrastructure is scheduled to close in the third quarter of 2026.
