SpaceX’s First Post-IPO Deal Mints Four Young A.I. Multibillionaires

SpaceX’s planned $60 billion acquisition of Cursor parent Anysphere could turn its four young MIT founders into multibillionaires.

Days after SpaceX hit the public market, Elon Musk’s mega-company announced plans to acquire Anysphere, the parent company of A.I. coding agent Cursor, for $60 billion in the third quarter of this year. Behind Cursor are four former MIT classmates in their mid-20s. All co-founders became billionaires in November following a $2.3 billion funding round that valued the company at $29.3 billion. With each holding roughly a 4.5 percent stake, a SpaceX acquisition would push their net worth to about $2.7 billion each.
