# Cursor is now a part of SpaceX Source: [https://cursor.com/blog/joining-spacex](https://cursor.com/blog/joining-spacex) Cursor has officially been acquired by SpaceX\. This completes the acquisition process that started in April, when we announced our partnership with SpaceXAI to accelerate our model training efforts\. In the years since we started Cursor, better models have steadily expanded what people can build\. Cursor has gone from completing the next few lines of code to[building AI teammates](https://x.ai/bot)that you can give real work to\. Together with SpaceX, we will push that ambition further\. We will have access to the largest fleet of GPUs in the world, giving us the compute to build stronger models that are also more economical to run\. This means we can provide customers with more capable models at lower cost\. Grok 4\.6, which we[released Wednesday](https://x.ai/news/grok-4-6), provides an early look at what we can now build together\. SpaceX is building the computing capacity needed to scale intelligence far beyond what exists today\. Cursor will be one place where that intelligence becomes useful\. For us, that opens a much larger horizon than the one we started with, while keeping the work familiar\. We still want to help people with ambitious ideas spend less time writing code and more time solving harder problems\.
