SpaceX's Cursor acquisition hailed as one of the fastest, best-executed integrations

Developer Trevin reviews SpaceX's acquisition of Cursor, calling it one of the most successful acquisitions in terms of speed and integration, even if the internal grind for employees is likely painful.
From a customer perspective he highlights: a standalone Grok bot with Cursor integration for offloading large coding jobs while staying coherent, a @bot integration in the X feed that carries over into the Grok app, and a unified pricing overhaul shipped the day before — murky for legacy Super Grok Heavy subscribers but impressive overall.
