    This is just hog wash.

    They are buying it for 60bn worth of SPCX Class A stock. This is Cursor’s board taking anything they can get for a company that has no future. Not a criticism against Cursor, but their market is standardising on Claude Code, and their value would rapidly head towards zero.

    Class A stock has no voting rights. This is the investors of Cursor literally saying “being on Musk’s train to the moon is literally better than whatever future we have right now”.

      True but they’re still making a bank and while the best exist was months ago the next best exit is now. I’d very happily take 60b worth of meme stock for a product with no future.
