Spacex says it has option to acquire startup Cursor for $60 billion

SpaceX said Cursor has granted Elon Musk's company the right to acquire the code-generation startup for $60 billion later this year or pay $10 billion to collaborate. The headline points to a potentially large strategic AI/technology transaction, though the report is sparse on execution details and appears more preliminary than definitive. The news is modestly positive for both AI and venture/tech deal activity, but the near-term market impact is likely limited.
