YES

On April 21, 2026, SpaceX (post-xAI merger) announced an agreement giving it the right to acquire AI coding startup Cursor for $60 billion before year-end OR pay a $10 billion 'collaboration fee' if it doesn't exercise. Per Bloomberg/CNBC reporting, SpaceX is delaying potential exercise until after its summer IPO to use newly public stock for financing. RESOLVES YES if SpaceX completes the acquisition of Cursor (consideration paid, regulatory approvals secured, deal closed) on or before 23:59 UTC December 31, 2026. Source: official SpaceX/Cursor announcements + SEC filings + reputable financial press. RESOLVES NO if SpaceX pays the $10B breakup fee instead, OR if neither acquisition nor fee is executed by the deadline. The mere expiration of the option without acquisition counts as NO.

SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models. For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon. We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities
