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.
Haha I had a cursor rep reach out to me last week with a pitch around their bright future now they’re part of SpaceX.
I replied and told him that in no uncertain terms would I do business with any business that directly benefits a known fascist like Elon Musk.
I also told them no thanks because of the association
I got hit up by a recruiter this week about a job with some startup trying to build data centers in the ocean and Peter theil is a major investor. I’m not looking for a job but going to tell them they have a dumb idea funded by an asshole sounds like a good time.
