Can Elon Musk's xAI challenge Anthropic after SpaceX's $60 billion Cursor AI acquisition from Anysphere?

SpaceX has agreed to acquire Cursor AI parent Anysphere for $60 billion in an all-stock deal, days after SpaceX's blockbuster Nasdaq debut. The acquisition hands xAI's Grok a foothold in AI coding tools, tapping Cursor's $2 billion annualized revenue and rapid enterprise adoption. Closing is expected in Q3 2026. Now the bigger question is whether Cursor AI can help xAI challenge Anthropic's lead in enterprise AI coding.
