Futurum Group reports SpaceX has an agreement to acquire Cursor later in 2026 for $60B, with an alternative option of $10B for ongoing compute partnership using xAI's Colossus supercomputer. This would be the largest acquisition in the AI coding tools space by an order of magnitude. Meanwhile, Replit CEO Amjad Masad says Replit went from $2.8M in 2024 revenue to tracking toward a billion-dollar run rate, and he'd "love for us to remain independent." Unlike Cursor (operating at -23% gross margins), Masad claims sustainable economics. The AI coding market is splitting into acqui-hire targets and independent survivors.
