This follows OpenAI\u2019s pivot to enterprise last month, which in turn came after the rise of frenetic AI productivity mania brought on by the release of OpenClaw, which in turn was helped along by Anthropic\u2019s Claude Code, which launched in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But before there was Claude Code there was Cursor, one of the original vibe coding apps, which launched in 2023. Last year, when Cursor\u2019s parent, Anysphere, raised a $105 million funding round, it was valued at $2.5 billion. By my math, SpaceX apparently thinks the Cursor product alone may be worth 24 times that amount.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The joint project earns Cursor either $10 billion, or if SpaceX is feeling acquisitive, it could just be bought for the full $60 billion at some point \u201clater this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">60 is a lot of billions of dollars. For reference, while the SpaceX IPO has a targeted listing valuation of $1.75 trillion, SpaceX hopes to raise $75 billion from investors. In a sense, SpaceX would be spending 80 percent of that before the IPO is even done if it opts to buy Cursor.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an X post on Tuesday, SpaceX referred to a clumsily named entity called \u201cSpaceXAI\u201d\u2014a term Musk has used before\u2014but that\u2019s not even the big news.
