The AI coding startup now belongs to SpaceX, which gives it access to the largest GPU fleet and data center infrastructure.

SpaceX closed its $60 billion acquisition of Cursor, the AI coding startup, and announced the completed deal on Cursor’s blog. Cursor will now operate as part of SpaceX with access to the company’s large-scale computing infrastructure.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which acquired Musk’s xAI earlier this year, first announced the Cursor deal in April and moved forward with it after SpaceX became a public company. SpaceX has been renting its computing infrastructure to customers including Anthropic and Google, and it faces a lawsuit over pollution from its data center gas turbines.

For developers, Cursor’s move into SpaceX means the AI coding tool will draw on the company’s data centers, which already serve Anthropic and Google. Cursor says the deal gives it access to the largest GPU fleet in the world, so teams using the tool will run on that infrastructure.

Observers will watch how SpaceX folds Cursor into its broader AI work, especially after the earlier xAI acquisition. The data center pollution lawsuit adds a layer of legal scrutiny to the infrastructure that now powers Cursor.

What matters
