AI Judge changed title after evaluation, original title: "Online parody claims SpaceX is acquiring Cursor code editor developer Anysphere for $60 billion"
A fake SEC filing making the rounds online spins a wild $60 billion SpaceX buyout of Anysphere, the team behind the AI code editor Cursor, with a tongue-in-cheek Q3 2026 close date that has the timeline stretching into next year.
cursor? the rocket company?
SEC filing: SpaceX agrees to acquire Anysphere in a merger valuing the Cursor-developer at $60B, expected to close in Q3 2026 (Reuters)
(Visit Techmeme dot com for the link and full context!)
SpaceX already holds a non-binding right to acquire the company for that same figure or pay a smaller sum for joint AI coding work, giving the parody its thin slice of real-world texture.
Everything beyond the April option stays murky, with no actual merger paperwork or updated pricing available to pin down what the joke filing is riffing on.
Positive users are excited by SpaceX's $60B acquisition of Anysphere (Cursor) as an empire-expanding move combining rockets and AI coding, while negative users criticize it as wasteful spending and potential stock dilution.
Wow. Spacex buys Cursor for $60B
A lot of people thought this company was dead a few *months* ago
Great outcome for all, including me in a very small way… Thus concludes my bet with @rabois
(He bet me $100k that no company founded in SF between 2020-2023 would exit >$10B)
SpaceX and Cursor have signed an all-stock merger agreement valuing Cursor at $60 billion, with the deal expected to close in Q3 2026 via SEC latest filing
SpaceX and Cursor signed a definitive Merger Agreement in an all-stock deal, valuing Cursor at $60B
They expect to close the merger in Q3 of 2026.
@george_matelich @rabois $50k to https://curecadasil.org/ $50k to https://www.inclusiveabundance.org/
@pitdesi is deal closed:). also is it one of these fake licensing deals or a real acquisition:)

Here’s the bet
@pitdesi will take the bet that no SF based company founded after March 2020 until today that raised VC capital will exit above $10b.
@rabois Happy to wait until it closes!
Seems to be an actual acquisition, I think clearly an “exit” for the purposes of our bet.

With the acquisition of @cursor_ai the AI run rate of $SPCX will actually go above that of OpenAI, Google Cloud and AWS (!)
So looks like @SpaceX will spend 2.5% of its market cap to buy @cursor_ai at 15x revenue 👀
@pitdesi i don’t think something like a Scale deal would be but this is 98% real.
SpaceX acquired Cursor
I expect SpaceX AI to be between Google and OpenAI by end of year
Composer 2.0 was a very strong model for only 1T params, but Elon isn't stopping at 1T models
BREAKING: SpaceX has agreed to acquire Cursor, the world's fastest growing software startup, for $60 billion in an all stock deal.
Cursor has over 1 million paying customers, more than $2 billion in annualized revenue, and is projected to hit $6 billion by end of 2026.
At $60 billion, this is the largest software acquisition in history, paying 20 to 30 times Cursor's current revenue.
The deal is subject to regulatory approval and expected to close in Q3 2026.
SpaceX now owns the rockets, the satellites, the AI models, the chips, and is about to own the tool every developer on earth uses to write code.
@DeItaone
@DeItaone SpaceX acquiring Anysphere (Cursor) at $60B. Rockets + AI code tools under one roof now. The empire keeps expanding.
@DeItaone $60 BLN EQUITY VALUE LMAOOOOOO
They are burning the money just raised.
@DeItaone @grok what valuation are they using for spacex
@satoxis @DeItaone Nope. Dilution event
@DeItaone Who remembers when everyone just talked about $NVDA
$SPCX is the new gorilla in the room….
@xeophon damnit i wanted to do this meme
cursor? the rocket company?
@DeItaone So we're officially at the stage whre rockts, AI models, and code editors are all competng in the same arms race...what a timeline lol🚀🤖
@pitdesi @rabois Where is the money being donated?
@DeItaone Better hope anysphere shareholders can sell SPCX before it drops like a rock in 70 days
@DeItaone With good fundamentals the goal is long time 🚀🤗
