At an all-hands meeting on Thursday, Cursor's leadership told staff that SpaceX could close its $60 billion acquisition of the AI coding startup as soon as the end of the following week, according to people familiar with the meeting. Staff were also told the Cursor brand name will likely be phased out for new products over the coming months. The bulk of the report is behind a paywall, so details of product plans, retention terms and regulatory steps are not visible. Cursor, built by Anysphere, is one of the most widely used AI coding assistants among developers.
