$60 BILLION FROM 4 MIT STUDENTS In 2022, four MIT classmates started Cursor. Four years later, SpaceX just completed a $60 BILLION acquisition of their company. This might be one of the craziest startup speedruns ever. - Cursor reached ~$2.6B in annualized enterprise revenue - It went from a VS Code fork to one of the biggest AI coding tools - SpaceX gets Cursor's talent, developer distribution and coding ecosystem - Cursor gets massive SpaceXAI compute and is already helping build Grok 4 people. 4 years. $60 billion. AI is creating giants faster than we've ever seen before.

Elon Musk just made one if the biggest moves in taking over the programming industry “SpaceX just bought Cursor for $60 billion. Do you realize how big this is? SpaceX went public — the biggest IPO in history. $75 billion raised, almost a $2 trillion valuation and the first thing to do with that money? Buy the most popular AI coding tool on the planet. Here's why that changes everything. Elon now owns 3 layers: the compute, Colossus data centers, the models, Grok through xAI, and now the tool that developers actually use every day. It's the full stack. And here's what makes Cursor different from Claude Code or Codex. Cursor is model agnostic. You can run Claude in it, GPT, Gemini, whatever model you want. It's not locked to any one company, and now it has SpaceX's resources behind it. Cursor said they were bottlenecked by compute. Well, that bottleneck has just been removed. $4 billion in annual revenue, over half the Fortune 500 already uses it, and now it's backed by a $2 trillion company. OpenAI has Codex, Anthropic has Claude Code, and now Elon has Cursor.” Let me break this down in simple terms Elon Musk now controls more of the full AI picture: - Massive computers, power (data centers like Colossus) - Smart AI models (Grok from xAI) - The actual tool millions of developers use every day (Cursor) For every day users this means Faster and smarter apps and websites in the future. More developers using powerful AI tools means new apps, games, websites, and features get built quicker and cheaper. This means better video games, smoother streaming, smarter phone apps and better programs For Developers they can describe what they want in plain English (“make a feature that does X”) and the AI handles more of the heavy lifting

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang: Elon Musk is in a phenomenal position to lead the future of AI, autonomous vehicles, and humanoid robotics. “Collecting world data is very expensive, and Elon has a great advantage because, number one, his AI factory for his cars is fantastic, has a lot of NVIDIA gear in it, and he has a very large fleet of cars on the road that allows him to collect a lot of data. So I think he has just a phenomenal position, and he's been working on this for a long time, and so he's going to be in a great position to take advantage of it. I know Elon's attitude towards AI, and he's very optimistic about its future, and obviously he's working on some of the most important AI areas. xAI is working on foundation, cognitive intelligence AI. Tesla's working on autonomous vehicles, and Optimus is for humanoid robotics. These three areas of AI are the three most important areas.”

Elon Musk on why SpaceX must win in AI. 🤖🚀 "We must succeed on the software front." Musk says SpaceX's AI future depends on three things: • AI hardware on the ground • AI software • AI satellites powered by solar energy He also says Terafab will play an important role in building that future. But the most important part, according to Musk, is Grok. "We're going to be training Grok on the sum total of all space information." Musk describes SpaceX as the "parents" of the AI—saying Grok will inherit the thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and values of the people who build it. And his biggest message is simple: "We must win on AI." Because Musk believes the future will be overwhelmingly dominated by AI and robots. The goal isn't just to build the smartest AI. It's to build an AI with the right values—and make sure it helps humanity move forward. 🤖🌍🚀

SpaceX just agreed to buy Cursor for $60 billion. Everyone is talking about the product, the models, the valuation. I’m interested in the human side of this AI story. Who built the team behind one of the fastest-growing software companies in history, and how do they think about talent at the frontier of AI? For the first episode of my new podcast, Below the Surface, I sat down with Adam Ward, Cursor 's Head of Talent, to find out. Before Cursor, Adam helped scale Facebook through its IPO, ran global recruiting at Pinterest from 200 to 2000+ people, and built Growth by Design Talent, the advisory firm behind OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, Notion, and Figma … until Cursor acquired it last year. We talked about what hiring looks like when the market is moving this fast, how Cursor does it differently, and what it actually takes to build a high-performance team right now. One of my biggest takeaways: the companies that win in AI won’t just have better models. They’ll have better systems for finding, assessing, and enabling exceptional people.

Nat Eliason’s (Nat Eliason) career arc is borderline absurd—but it works. He’ll spot a new tool or trend, master it, build a business around it, and move on. Nat’s pulled it off with the note-taking wave ($600k in sales from a Roam Research course), real estate (6x return flipping property in Austin), and crypto (published his insider story with Random House). Now it’s AI: he’s running a viral course on building apps with AI—$200k in pre-sales in just a week, 800 students and counting. I’ve known Nat for a long time and I think he has a great sense for where the puck is headed. He was one of the first guests I had on the podcast and I was delighted to have him on again. Here are a few takeaways from our conversation: - Coding with AI has become orders of magnitude easier for non-technical people over the last 2 years—Nat rarely has to help students fix bugs; they troubleshoot in Cursor on their own. - AI coding assistants are creating new behaviours in programming, like using a speech-to-text model to talk to an agent and having it write code for you. - The traditional learning curve of coding is flattening because AI tools let beginners build and iterate in faster feedback loops. - AI has given Nat leverage in spades—it increases his ability to be a creator while also building a robust business with as few people to manage as possible. He demos an AI book editor he coded for his sci-fi novel. - In the age of AI, software is becoming content and the barriers to create are lower than ever—but custom software for everything isn’t the answer. Nat’s model is that personalized tools make sense for that one thing you care the most about. - Nat believes that the future of writing with AI is a Cursor-style interface with a model that’s trained on your style and voice. This episode is a must-watch for writers, creators, and anyone interested in the future of product building. Watch below! Timestamps: Introduction: 00:01:45 The origins of Nat’s viral course on building apps with AI: 00:11:45 How coding with AI has evolved over the last two years: 00:18:46 Nat creates an app using Composer, Cursor’s AI assistant: 00:22:22 Tactical tips for coding with Cursor: 00:26:06 How coding with AI is creating new behaviours in programming: 00:29:06 What excites Nat the most about the future of AI: 00:32:41 A demo of Hubbard, the AI editor Nat built for his science fiction writing: 00:38:58 When does it makes sense to build custom software: 00:44:52 Nat’s take on the future of writing with AI: 00:49:18

Now it’s AI: he’s running a viral course on building apps with AI—$200k in pre-sales in just a week, 800 students and counting. I’ve known Nat for a long time and I think he has a great sense for where the puck is headed. He was one of the first guests I had on the podcast and I was delighted to have him on again. Here are a few takeaways from our conversation: - Coding with AI has become orders of magnitude easier for non-technical people over the last 2 years—Nat rarely has to help students fix bugs; they troubleshoot in Cursor on their own. - AI coding assistants are creating new behaviours in programming, like using a speech-to-text model to talk to an agent and having it write code for you. - The traditional learning curve of coding is flattening because AI tools let beginners build and iterate in faster feedback loops. - AI has given Nat leverage in spades—it increases his ability to be a creator while also building a robust business with as few people to manage as possible. He demos an AI book editor he coded for his sci-fi novel. - In the age of AI, software is becoming content and the barriers to create are lower than ever—but custom software for everything isn’t the answer. Nat’s model is that personalized tools make sense for that one thing you care the most about. - Nat believes that the future of writing with AI is a Cursor-style interface with a model that’s trained on your style and voice. This episode is a must-watch for writers, creators, and anyone interested in the future of product building. Watch below!
