SpaceX closes its $60 billion purchase of Cursor maker Anysphere
The all-stock deal is the largest acquisition of a venture-backed startup on record. Cursor now sits in a new SpaceXAI division.
The deal
SpaceX closed the acquisition on August 14, issuing about 391 million Class A shares. It follows an April option to either pay roughly $10 billion for a partnership or buy Cursor for $60 billion later in the year.
What changes
Cursor becomes a wholly owned unit of the new SpaceXAI division with access to SpaceX compute, including the Colossus supercomputer, putting SpaceX in direct competition with Anthropic and OpenAI in AI coding tools.
