Dammit, I liked cursor
Opus, I watch my allotment creep up every turn…
Wow, we are seeing the dark underbelly of the beast here. Nobody talks about cursor anymore for a reason. Look, I'm not saying it's not useful and discounting anyone getting value out of it... But it's clearly not worth 60B dollars in April 2026.
for contrast, Elon paid $44b for twitter back in 2022. When you adjust for inflation, Twitter was acquired for $49b in 2026 money. Cursor getting bought for 1.22x more is just insanity.
Elon seems unwilling to shake off the image that he has basically no idea what he's doing.
60B. That's a completely crazy price. Great for Cursor, I guess. If it happens, that is.
Why would Elon do this if he knows full well the names X-Code and Codex are already taken?
Maybe I was missing something, but I do not understand how it is worth sixty billion dollars.
That's an expensive VS Code fork.
knee-jerk is that it's weird, but makes sense: * X will have a total of ~2GW of GPU sometime this year largely not doing much outside of 'grok is this true' * despite no longer being in vogue with consumer devs Cursor still has a lot of developer data that can assist in building a model * Cursor have decent enterprise relationships (while for xAI it is ~zero) and that's where the real revenue for llms + agents is * C…
> largely not doing much outside of 'grok is this true' Hey now, don't forget about it's super important other use, taking innocent photos of people and regenerating them in less clothing and compromising positions. I'm sad that I even know that.
