Gergely Orosz spotted that Cursor's Ambassador program appears to have been renamed "Grok Bot Ambassador," with all Cursor Hackathons rebranded as "Grok Bot Hackathon" and the Cursor Community page becoming "SpaceX AI community." He predicts many Cursor ambassadors will quit, "this is not what most of them surely signed up for," hinting at a deeper xAI–Anysphere integration that has unsettled the developer community.
