Does anyone here think Cursor is overvalued? It's just packaging up what already exists, it has no moat or IP.

its not just the models, their auto complete is actually really good. when you make a change it will give you "tab to next" which makes refactors super easy.

composer 2.5 is also a very decent model, it go 90% of my AI tasks using it now.

For what it's worth, this was effectively announced months ago, and at this valuation.

But they (SpaceX) could have backed out of the deal at any given time as they had the option to (and be required to pay the 10B break up fee). Nobody knew what would happen at the time. This announcement is a definitive agreement of the acquisition at that $60B valuation.

Sure, not saying there's no news hook here.

SpaceX should rush to acquire as many companies as they can with stock. The market cap is absolute insanity (I know people keep saying this about new high scores in unrelated-to-reality valuations, but this one might just be the pinnacle), with zero rational basis, and they should try to make it real as rapidly as they can. Next up, Anthropic.

Anthropic are already paying $15 b to space X for compute.
