When SpaceX isn’t landing rockets, it’s apparently landing AI company deals. In February, the firm behind [Starlink](https://9to5mac.com/2025/09/08/starlink-direct-to-cell-satellite-connectivity-expanding-beyond-t-mobile/) absorbed [xAI](https://electrek.co/2026/02/02/spacex-bails-out-xai-in-mega-deal-heres-what-it-means-for-tesla/), which includes Twitter-turned-X. In April, SpaceX inked a deal with Cursor, a competitor to Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex. As of August 14, the purchase has been completed. SpaceXAI, as it’s now called, also recently [released Grok Bot ](https://9to5mac.com/2026/08/11/grok-bot-is-an-all-new-iphone-and-mac-app-from-spacexai-and-cursor/)and [Grok 4.6 models ](https://9to5mac.com/2026/08/12/spacexai-releases-grok-4-6/)with the help of Cursor.
