SpaceX has completed its acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor, with Cursor confirming on its official blog that the deal is closed and it is now part of SpaceX. The transaction follows an April 2026 partnership carrying a $60 billion option, formalized in June through a merger of Cursor's parent Anysphere into SpaceX subsidiary X67 Inc. Cursor said the deal gives it access to SpaceX's global GPU fleet, and the two have already released Grok 4.6 and Grok Bot.
What confirms the Cursor acquisition is officially complete?
Cursor confirmed on its official blog that the acquisition process is complete and that it is now officially part of SpaceXCITE:E2CITE:E8. SpaceX, controlled by Elon Musk, completed the deal last weekCITE:E1. The transaction closed through SpaceX's wholly owned subsidiary X67 Inc., which merged with Cursor's parent company, Anysphere, after which Cursor became a wholly owned subsidiary of SpaceXCITE:E4.
What is the timeline from the April partnership to deal closing?
The acquisition traces back to April, when SpaceX and Cursor announced a partnership to jointly develop AI models for coding and knowledge work, a deal that also started a $60 billion acquisition processCITE:E3. That same April announcement gave SpaceX the option to acquire Cursor for $60 billionCITE:E10. Two months later, as SpaceX became a publicly traded company, the two companies said they were moving forward with the acquisitionCITE:E11. In June, SpaceX formally announced the merger structure, with X67 Inc. set to absorb AnysphereCITE:E4.
How did the $60 billion option turn into a wholly owned subsidiary merger?
The $60 billion option granted in April became a formal subsidiary merger when SpaceX announced in June that its wholly owned subsidiary X67 Inc. would merge with Cursor's parent, AnysphereCITE:E3CITE:E10CITE:E4. Upon completion of that structure, Cursor became a wholly owned subsidiary of SpaceXCITE:E4.
Why did SpaceX acquire Cursor?
Cursor said the deal lets it tap into SpaceX's global-scale GPU cluster to build AI models that cost less to runCITE:E5. Media reports indicate SpaceX plans to expand its own data center computing capacity from 1.4 GW currently to 10GW by 2027CITE:E6. SpaceX said it is building the computing capacity needed to scale intelligence far beyond what exists today, adding that Cursor will be one place where that intelligence becomes usefulCITE:E14.
How do Cursor and SpaceX's computing resources work together?
Cursor's completion announcement repeatedly referenced SpaceX's computing infrastructure, which SpaceX has been renting out to customers including Anthropic and GoogleCITE:E12. Cursor said that by becoming part of SpaceX, it will have access to the largest fleet of GPUs in the worldCITE:E13. Cursor tied this access directly to its goal of building AI models with lower execution costsCITE:E5.
What are the first products released after the acquisition?
Last week, SpaceX AI released the first products of its collaboration with Cursor: Grok 4.6, followed by Grok Bot, an agent built on the prior-generation modelCITE:E7.
How does Cursor fit into SpaceX's broader AI computing strategy?
Cursor is SpaceX's second AI acquisition this year, following SpaceX's earlier acquisition of Elon Musk's xAICITE:E9. SpaceX framed both moves within the same computing buildout, stating it is building capacity to scale intelligence beyond current levels, with Cursor named as one place that capacity will be put to useCITE:E14.
Key figures at a glance

Taken together, the timeline shows SpaceX converting an April option into full subsidiary ownership within months, using the same option-to-subsidiary structure it applied earlier this year to xAICITE:E9CITE:E4. Cursor's own framing of the deal — repeated references to GPU capacity previously rented to Anthropic and Google, and its description of gaining the largest GPU fleet in the world — indicates computing access, not just coding-model development, sat at the center of the acquisition rationaleCITE:E12CITE:E13.
