SpaceX is acquiring AI startup Cursor for $60 billion in stock. This follows an earlier partnership agreement and Cursor's previous attempts to secure funding.
SpaceX has agreed to buy AI startup Cursor for $60 billion in stock, concluding a deal that was first announced earlier this year.
In April, the two companies signed a partnership that saw SpaceX agree to either invest $10 billion into Cursor or buy it outright for $60 billion.
Now, less than two months later, the two are moving forward with an acquisition, which SpaceX expects to close later this year.
Cursor is known for its AI coding tool of the same name.
As recently as April, the company was reportedly in talks to raise approximately $2 billion in new funding from Andreessen Horowitz, NVIDIA and other investors.
However, TechCrunch reports that even had Cursor secured that funding, it wouldn't have been enough for it to break even.
That's despite the company raising $2.3 billion last year.
