SpaceXAI completes its Cursor acquisition following Grok Bot and Grok 4.6 release

When SpaceX isn’t landing rockets, it’s apparently landing AI company deals. In February, the firm behind Starlink absorbed xAI, which includes Twitter-turned-X. In April, SpaceX inked a deal with Cursor, a competitor to Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex. As of August 14, the purchase has been completed. SpaceXAI, as it’s now called, also recently released Grok Bot and Grok 4.6 models with the help of Cursor.
