OpenAI said it’s ending its contract with Cursor, a coding startup recently acquired by SpaceX, because it doesn’t trust an Elon Musk-owned company to comply with its terms of service.
The company said in a statement published on Friday night that it plans to shut off Cursor’s access to OpenAI models on November 12.
OpenAI did not accuse Cursor of violating any terms. It instead pointed to past conduct by another Musk-owned company, Twitter, which Musk bought in 2022 and merged with SpaceX earlier in February.
A lot of people access potential profits based upon revenue numbers. So when Musk wraps everything under Starlink, he can inflate the revenue numbers. Still show an overall profitability, and then the PR goes. Starlink’s profit margins will increase by 5% points next year. Which sounds and is impressive, but the overall revenue numbers shown by SpaceX covers a lot of other products.
It basically aims to fool people doing a surface level analysis
Not only that, the reasoning to merge space X with x AI and X is to label space X as an AI company, and thus should have valuation of one.
This always strikes me as odd because, given the AI race, the future value of each company is basically infinity or zero.
