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.
Hold on a second, SpaceX owns X/Twitter??
I thought Elon owned that privately, but the fact that he parasitised his monetary black hole of a purchase onto his most successful company really just shows how fucking stupid Musk actually is.
Though I really shouldn’t be surprised as his other monetary black hole venture, xAI, is also parasitised onto SpaceX.
SpaceX is now backstopped by the US taxpayer. It’s just a giant corrupt grift.
Basically everything he owns has been merged into SpaceX this year which was to make everything look profitable or something, I don’t pretend to understand this part of finance.
Twitter/X, xAI/Grok and Cursor are now all part of SpaceX under the SpaceXAI subsidiary.

I just want to point out how ugly is uninspired is the new logo. The old one was supposed to represent the space launches, the new one is like if someone gave the spacex and the anthropic logo to grok and asked a merge
No, you’re right. He has A LOT of failed or failing projects no one talks about, like The Hyperloop.
The Hyperloop completely succeeded at exactly what it was meant to do: delay the California High Speed Rail project for a couple of years to maybe sell a few more Tesla cars.
The Hyperloop is when I realized he was a fraud.
The concept has existed for a century, it is old news, it has never worked, it can never work.
Boring Company
He has Twitter wrapped up in xAI, which is wrapped up in Space X. Basically buried 3 levels down. It’s not profitable and it’s well hated, so he’s trying to insulate it with companies with more investment / contracts and less public hate.
Whilst doing nothing to address why it’s so hated.
I hate that SpaceX and Twitter are one company now, but I think it was smart of the nazi saluting asshole to wrap the turd that is the husk of Twitter in the otherwise forward progress SpaceX company.
No one (other than other grifters) would be interested in buying into today’s Twitter, but wrapped in SpaceX, lots bought in.
