The startup doubled its annualized revenue in four months.
Many users celebrate Cursor's rapid climb to $4B annualized revenue and SpaceX acquisition prep as proof of accelerating AI coding adoption, while others dismiss the figures as overstated or note the tool still makes frequent errors.

@809trader @Techmeme @richardjnieva 4 Billion - that’s adorable

@Techmeme @richardjnieva @Rob81Boston $1.3 😂😂

@Techmeme @richardjnieva So it’s slowing eh

@Techmeme @richardjnieva Cursor at that revenue pace is the whole dev-tool reset in one chart. The budget moved from nice-to-have to core stack fast.

OpenAI and Anthropic have great models. Microsoft controls distribution through GitHub Copilot. But SpaceX will control the entire chain from raw compute to the end-user product, aka the full stack.
- Infrastructure: Colossus/Orbital data centers. - Models: Grok 5 and beyond. - Interface: Cursor.
Retards on X are trying to tell you SpaceX is overvalued. It's UNDERVALUED.

@ns123abc Cursor's growth is insane! $2B → $3B → $4B ARR in just months. The AI coding revolution is accelerating faster than expected.

@Techmeme @richardjnieva

@ns123abc What do you use Cursor for?
Asking for a friend

@ns123abc Let’s get this show on the road. Need a built in console.

@ns123abc george soros of right

@ns123abc I just don't see cursor sticking it out past the early days of RSI tbh

@Techmeme @richardjnieva lol

@ns123abc That’s some serious velocity, love to see it

@ns123abc $4B ARR says the IDE is now the primary product, not a dev tool. VSCode's 20M free users just became a liability: monetize or fade to infrastructure.

@richardjnieva @Forbes @annatonger AI revenue growth is moving at breakneck speed.

@ns123abc cursor doubled revenue but still autocompletes your function names wrong half the time

@ns123abc Cursor is getting acquired

@ns123abc If Cursor really doubled ARR that fast, the dev-tool market is not repricing. It already repriced and everyone else is catching up.
