Cursor has announced that its acquisition by SpaceX has officially closed, according to a post from the AI coding company on Friday. Cursor states that its team will join SpaceXAI and work on Grok Build, Grok Bot, Grok API, Cursor and other products.
“We will join the @SpaceXAI team to help make Grok the world's most useful AI,” Cursor wrote.
The announcement does not specify whether Cursor will retain its current brand, product structure or subscription plans. Several users immediately asked whether the Cursor name would remain, while others proposed names such as “CursorX,” “Xursor” and “CtrlX.”
Model availability emerged as another concern. One user who spends roughly six hours a day in Cursor wrote that a default switch to Grok, accompanied by the removal of access to Anthropic’s Sonnet, would represent “a downgrade” rather than an upgrade. Other commenters asked whether Cursor access would be included with Grok or X Premium subscriptions.
Elon Musk replied to the announcement with “Welcome!” Cursor’s post describes SpaceX’s technology in strongly positive terms and expresses gratitude for joining the company, but provides no details about the acquisition’s financial terms or operational changes.
