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.

    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.
