Original caption

Elon now owns the full stack: compute (Colossus), models (Grok/xAI), and the developer tool (Cursor). But unlike Codex or Claude Code, Cursor is model agnostic. You can run Claude, GPT, Gemini, any model. It’s not locked to one company. And now it has SpaceX resources behind it. Cursor was bottlenecked by compute. That bottleneck just got removed. $4B annual revenue. Over half the Fortune 500 uses it. The AI coding wars just introduced a third player with very deep pockets. #spacex #cursor #ai #elonmusk

Transcript

SpaceX just bought Cursor. $60 billion. 5 days after the biggest IPO ever. Do you realize how big this is? SpaceX went public just 5 days ago, the biggest IPO in history, $75 billion raised, almost a $2 trillion valuation. And the first thing they do with that money? Buy the most popular AI coding tool on the planet. Here's why that changes everything. Elon now owns three layers: the compute, Colossus data centers, the models, Grok through xAI, and now the tool that developers actually use every day. It's the full stack. And here's what makes Cursor different from Claude, Code, or Codex. Cursor is model agnostic. You can run Claude in it, GPT, Gemini, whatever model you want. It's not locked to any one company. And now it has SpaceX's resources behind it. Cursor said they were bottlenecked by compute. Well, that bottleneck has just been removed. $4 billion in annual revenue, over half the Fortune 500 already uses it, and now it's backed by a $2 trillion company. OpenAI has Codex, Anthropic has Claude Code, and now Elon has Cursor.
