title: SpaceX has agreed to acquire Cursor, the world's fastest growing software startup, for $60 billion in an all stock deal.
description: "Who is Cursor? It is an AI-powered code editor and software development agent that acts as an \"AI copilot\" for programmers. Founded in 2022 by Anysphere, it features deep integrations with models like GPT-4, Claude, and xAI, allowing users to write, debug, and auto-complete code using natural language instructions\n\nCursor has over 1 million paying customers, more than $2 billion in annualized revenue, and is projected to hit $6 billion by end of 2026.\n\nAt $60 billion, this is the largest software acquisition in history, paying 20 to 30 times Cursor's current revenue.\n\nThe deal is subject to regulatory approval and expected to close in Q3 2026.\n\nSpaceX 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.\n\nSource: Bull Theory"
