Microsoft had evaluated the possibility of acquiring the AI programming tool company Cursor, but ultimately did not proceed with the deal. Subsequently, SpaceX quickly reached an agreement to obtain an option to acquire Cursor at a valuation of $60 billion, with a $10 billion penalty for cancellation if the acquisition is not completed.

Cursor is currently an important player in the AI programming sector, benefiting from the strong demand for automated programming tools from developers. Competition in this field has become increasingly fierce, with OpenAI and Anthropic being major players. On the other hand, Microsoft is facing multiple pressures, with its stock price down 10% this year, underperforming its peers in the hyperscale data center sector.
