What commenters are saying
Commenters are sharply divided. Skeptics call Cursor overvalued, noting its code is built on an open-source editor and its models rely on post-training existing models like Kimi K2.5 rather than frontier training from scratch. Supporters argue the deal secures talent, proprietary user data, and distribution for SpaceX's AI ambitions, with stock rather than cash diluting shareholders. Some users threaten to switch away from Cursor due to Musk's association with Grok. Others recommend alternatives like pi.dev, Cline, Codex, and zed, while noting Continue has been acquired by Cursor/SpaceX.
