Elon Musk strikes again. SpaceX buys Cursor, the revolutionary AI tool for $60 billion! Between technological war and boiling tokens, this acquisition could well redefine the crypto ecosystem. But is it a bubble or a revolution?
In brief
- SpaceX buys Cursor for $60 billion, strengthening its position in AI against OpenAI and Anthropic.
- Cursor, an AI tool for developers, becomes a subsidiary of SpaceX, with a merger planned for the 3rd quarter of 2026.
- SpaceX is seeing its stock rise, but AI tokens could be shaken up by this centralization of Elon Musk.
Elon Musk (SpaceX) buys Cursor for $60 billion: a masterstroke in the AI war?
SpaceX, through its subsidiary X67 Inc., has just finalized the acquisition of Cursor (Anysphere), the generative AI tool for developers, for the astronomical sum of $60 billion. An operation which is part of Elon Musk's aggressive strategy to dominate the AI market, after the merger with xAI in February 2026. Founded in 2022, Cursor is an LLM (Large Language Model) specialized in coding automation. With an annual turnover of $2.6 billion, this startup has become a key player in the AI-driven development ecosystem.
SpaceX, already a leader in aerospace, now wants to impose its hegemony in AI, by competing directly with OpenAI and Anthropic. This acquisition by Elon Musk comes a week after a historic fundraising for SpaceX, whose shares flirted with $200 in pre-market. A valuation that could soon exceed that of Amazon. But behind the numbers, a technological battle is being played out: who will control the AI of tomorrow?
AI tokens: will the hype of Fable 5 and Mythos 5 survive the SpaceX-Cursor era?
The recent sanction of Fable 5 and Mythos 5 has propelled AI tokens to the heart of crypto news. Indeed, these assets backed by decentralized AI projects have experienced a real explosion. But with SpaceX and Cursor coming into play, the landscape could change dramatically. For what ? Because AI tokens like Fetch.ai (FET), SingularityNET (AGIX) or Bittensor (TAO) rely on decentralized neural networks. A different approach from that of Elon Musk, who centralizes AI via proprietary supercomputers.
A question arises… Will investors favor decentralization or the raw power of Elon Musk? With $60 billion injected into Cursor, SpaceX could accelerate the adoption of AI in business, but also marginalize smaller players. AI tokens, already under regulatory pressure, will have to prove their real usefulness to survive. Fable 5 and Mythos 5 showed that hype can collapse as quickly as it rises.
At a time when 64% of Americans fear AI for their jobs, Elon Musk via SpaceX finalizes the purchase of Cursor for $60 billion. Together, this explosive duo could shake up the AI market… But also represents a risk for decentralization. Will AI tokens resist? Time will tell if Musk is right… or if the market will prove him wrong. And you, are you betting on the giants or the outsiders?
