Microsoft Missed Cursor Bid as SpaceX Seals $60B AI Coding Deal

Microsoft reportedly explored acquiring Cursor, an AI coding startup, but did not lodge a formal bid before SpaceX moved to lock in rights to acquire Cursor for up to $60 billion. OpenAI also attempted to buy Cursor, but both offers were rejected as Cursor continued rapid growth. SpaceX’s deal offers two paths—an outright $60B purchase or a $10B joint-work arrangement—while the broader AI coding race accelerates with Codex and Claude Code; Microsoft’s Copilot remains a growth driver with millions of subscribers and upbeat analyst targets.

SpaceX Bets Big on Cursor to Power Its AI Coding Push

SpaceX agreed to acquire Cursor for up to $60 billion, or pay $10 billion for Cursor’s work if not acquired, linking SpaceX’s Colossus supercomputer to Cursor’s AI coding editor. Cursor, founded by MIT graduates, has drawn top backers like Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive Capital, and Nvidia, and counts Stripe, Coinbase, Discord, Salesforce, Neuralink, and Nvidia among its customers, while facing competition from Claude Code and other coding AIs. The deal signals a bold push to scale AI-powered coding using SpaceX and xAI infrastructure, including Cursor’s newer Cursor 3 product, amid broader market rivalry and strategic moves by SpaceX.

OpenAI Codex lands on Windows with native desktop for AI-powered coding

OpenAI has released a native Windows desktop app for Codex, its AI coding assistant that runs AI agents to write code from natural-language prompts. The Windows version follows the Mac release and supports planning, adjustable autonomy, access to local directories and GitHub, and a multi-chat interface for teams with per-action notifications. Competing tools include Claude Code and Google Antigravity, and although Codex is free with ChatGPT accounts, usage quotas can rapidly exhaust even paid plans.
