SpaceX closes its acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor

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.
