On June 16, 2026, SpaceX signed an agreement to acquire Anysphere, the developer of Cursor. The acquisition was a full-stock exchange, with Anysphere's stock value estimated at $60 billion (approximately 9.6 trillion yen), and was expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026 (July-September), subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions.

Then, on August 14, 2026, local time, Cursor posted a blog entry titled 'Cursor is now part of SpaceX,' announcing that the acquisition by SpaceX had been completed.

Regarding the acquisition of SpaceX, Cursor stated, 'In the years since we started Cursor, we have steadily expanded what people can build with better models. Cursor has evolved from completing lines of code a few lines ahead to building AI teammates that can actually do the work. With SpaceX, we will take this goal even further. We will have access to the world's largest GPU fleet and the computing resources to build more powerful and lower-cost models.'

He further stated, 'This will allow us to offer our customers higher-performance models at a lower cost. Grok 4.6 , which we released on Wednesday, is an early example of what we can achieve together. SpaceX is building the computing power needed to scale intelligence far beyond current levels. Cursor is one area where that intelligence can be put to good use,' suggesting further leaps forward.

In addition, he mentioned that Cursor's policies will not change even after being acquired by SpaceX. 'For us, this opens up possibilities far greater than we could have imagined when we started the company. On the other hand, what we are working on remains the same. We will continue to help people with ambitious ideas spend less time writing code and more time solving more difficult problems,' he explained.
