THE FUSE

Until a few hours before SpaceX announced its deal, giving it the option to acquire Cursor — the maker of AI-powered coding software — for $60 billion, Cursor was on track to close a $2 billion funding round later this week, according to a person familiar with the matter. The round would have valued the company at $50 billion. SpaceX said it would either buy the company at some point later this year or pay $10 billion to Cursor to collaborate on AI development.
