SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models. For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon. We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities
Apr 21
SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI. The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models. Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

Please let’s keep this guy as head of NASA for the next 30 years (or until he decides to retire heh).
That’s right. Under budget AND ahead of schedule. Looking forward to seeing the beginning of the world-changing Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope NET August 30.

I double doubt the booster and GS2 have survived intact.
We have regained some access to Launch Complex 36 and are actively investigating the hotfire anomaly. We will start clearing the pad soon and have a good rebuild plan in place. The booster and GS2s in the integration facility appear healthy from quick looks.

Still very proud of my flight 5 patch. My first and only rocket launch, and what a launch! Watching the first booster catch with the chopsticks ever from just a few miles away was wild. Definitely want to see the first ship catch!

Today was one of those moments that reminds me why I fell in love with aerospace in the first place. Standing around machines built to push the edge of what’s possible never gets old. Huge thanks to the Starfighters team for an incredible tour and for keeping that spirit of flight alive.

Replying to @Chetaul
Obviously intentional and pre planned. Ship did a double engine vertical roll on its axis to show the heat shield to all the surrounding buoy mounted cameras, then a single engine flip to fall with its back up for drone inspection of the shield. It’s as obvious as it gets.

Anyone really thinks this was loss of control authority?
I was just about to post about how the ship did a spin during landing and they went and showed the video

Now that Starship V3 has made its debut, we are one step closer to making life multiplanetary. During Fram2 training, apart from the usual Dragon-related topics, I remember that what we talked about most in the training room was how to reliably tether down on Phobos. Three months ago, Elon announced that the focus would shift toward the Moon. That makes sense. And I am also excited to see that, with AI data centers, we may eventually find a way to make space commercially practical. So why am I setting my sights on Mars rather than the Moon? Because I believe that even without private investment in lunar flights, we will still reach the Moon, and likely very soon. As competition between the United States and China intensifies, governments will turn lunar bases into reality. And I am happy to sit back and watch that happen. On the other hand, I have no confidence that Mars will still happen within our lifetime. And I think I should do something about that. I hope that by purchasing a flyby mission to Mars, SpaceX will have another reason not to forget about Mars. Because we seriously shouldn’t defer Mars to our next generation. Although this mission will not make a tether down on Phobos, everything has to begin with a first step. We had Mariner 4 and 9 before the Vikings, and today’s Curiosity and Perseverance. I hope this mission can show the public that Mars is not just a point of light in a telescope. It is a real place, and humans can fly there and come back alive and come back healthy.
