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.
My heart goes out to them.
Yesss eat each other
Now kiss
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.
Really really don’t say this often but Sam Altman has a point here.
When you’re such a toxic leader that other toxic companies won’t do business with yours
He was such a toxic piece of shit, that the other pedophiles wouldn’t even invite him to their pedo island, even after he begged.

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.
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.

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.
parasitised his monetary black hole of a purchase onto his most successful company really just shows how fucking stupid Musk actually is.
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.
What’s a good alternative to cursor?
Anna’s Archive.
Cursor’s biggest advantage is that it has all the code context loaded right up there in the embedded VSCode editor fork. Augment Code has a similar “context engine” built up, but it’s not a full blown editor.
Cursor’s latest plans were bringing it into something closer to what Claude Code or Claude Desktop is doing (Codex has similar tools.) I’m personally ditching it all and doing VSCodium in 1 window and OpenCode on a terminal. After using Cursor for a year (personal projects, not at work), I can say that it was good, but Composer 1 and 2 were absolute shit and I relied on GPT and Claude models. OpenCode + OpenCode Go (GLM, etc) offer a much more affordable alternative.
Oh man he bought Cursor I missed that. Boo.
Yes shortly after the IPO, and I think they spend 80% of the money they got from the IPO buying Cursor.
