SpaceX Drops $60B to Buy Cursor-Maker Anysphere
Elon Musk's rocket company is acquiring the AI coding tool developer in a blockbuster merger expected to close Q3 2026.
SpaceX is buying Anysphere — the company behind Cursor, one of the hottest AI coding agents on the market — in a deal worth $60 billion. The merger agreement was disclosed in an SEC filing on Tuesday.
The acquisition is expected to close in Q3 2026. The deal marks a massive bet by Elon Musk's space venture into AI-powered developer tools, pairing rocket engineering with one of the most widely adopted AI coding assistants in the industry.
Anysphere's Cursor has rapidly gained traction among developers for its AI-native approach to writing and editing code. A $60B valuation cements it as one of the most expensive software acquisitions ever.
The merger brings SpaceX squarely into the AI software arena, far beyond its core launch and satellite business. Details on integration plans remain scarce.
