# SpaceX closes its acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor

*2026-08-15 · Source: [TechCrunch Startups](https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/15/spacex-officially-closes-its-cursor-acquisition/)*

SpaceX has officially completed its acquisition of Cursor, the AI coding assistant startup, bringing the tool formally under SpaceX's ownership.

**Why it matters:** This follows Nvidia's recent move to add a SpaceX stake alongside its Intel windfall, underscoring how deeply intertwined AI infrastructure and coding tools have become with Elon Musk's companies - a coding assistant used broadly across the industry now sits inside a rocket company rather than a software firm.

**Topics:** business, products
