#973A space company is buying an IDE for roughly the cost to build 150 of world's most expensive modern hospitals [1]. How is this in SpaceX's interest? Isn't it kinda bizarre that Elon is pivoting SpaceX to something else? 1. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/16/spacex-spcx-cursor-acquisiti...
Composer-2.5 is a good model, grok-4 is not.
Its that simple.

#974Is anyone on HN still actually using Cursor in 2026? Everyone I've spoken with is now using either Claude Code or Codex (or Copilot because their companies force them to).
Both teams I run use Cursor as their daily drivers. It's fantastic. I am annoyed with this acquisition.

I would agree but in this case they are buying the talent and the data.

#978Till the minute I clicked on this I couldn't decide if it was satire or not.
But also, for a few weeks periodicly I've been wondering what's going on with Cursor. Haven't thought about them at all, let alone used them, in quite some time.
They were a pretty big AI-native player. Seems clear we're well into the consolidation phase of this economic cycle.

Prediction -- SpaceX rebrands within a decade like Meta or Alphabet. And they turn out to be a AI company not a space company.

It’s all in a stock that may very well be near its zenith when this closes (or maybe not. This is so far past fundamentals it’s impossible to tell). They’re spending Monopoly money. It also seems like SpaceX is poised to Hoover up all of Elons companies so it’s might not be “just a space company” for long.

Nah, not in a bubble or anything at all.
