SpaceX's $60B all-stock Cursor deal costs less dilution as stock climbs 50% post-IPO. Ackman calls it a strategic asset. Anthropic and OpenAI want the same.

SpaceX exercised its option to buy Cursor for $60 billion in all stock, the largest startup acquisition ever, arming xAI and Grok against rivals Anthropic and OpenAI.
