OpenAI said it’s ending its contract with Cursor, a coding startup recently acquired by SpaceX, because it doesn’t trust an Elon Musk-owned company to comply with its terms of service.
The company said in a statement published on Friday night that it plans to shut off Cursor’s access to OpenAI models on November 12.
OpenAI did not accuse Cursor of violating any terms. It instead pointed to past conduct by another Musk-owned company, Twitter, which Musk bought in 2022 and merged with SpaceX earlier in February.
Oh man he bought Cursor I missed that. Boo.
Yes shortly after the IPO, and I think they spend 80% of the money they got from the IPO buying Cursor.
60 billion in stock, if I recall correctly. I don’t believe they got any cash
So they too got screwed. 🤡
They paid most of that with fake money tied to SpaceX stocks. Still a golden parachute to the founders
They got an insane amount of money for a VSCode fork with AI integrations baked in
I used it for a bit because it was cheaper than directly buying a Claude subscription from Anthropic. Canceled the moment SpaceX bought it
