SpaceX to Acquire Cursor in $60B Stock Deal, Deepening Elon Musk’s AI Empire

Published by Webster

Elon Musk’s AI ambitions may have just found their developer toolchain. Just days after becoming one of the world’s most valuable public companies, SpaceX has locked in a deal to buy AI coding startup Cursor for $60 billion in stock, marking one of the biggest acquisitions in the artificial intelligence industry. The company confirmed on Tuesday that Cursor’s parent company, Anysphere, will become a wholly owned subsidiary once the transaction closes. Regulatory filings indicate that SpaceX expects the acquisition to be completed in the third quarter of 2026. The move follows an arrangement announced in April that gave SpaceX the option to either acquire Cursor for $60 billion or pay $10 billion to continue working closely with the company. Cursor shareholders will be paid entirely with SpaceX stock. Why SpaceX wants Cursor The acquisition is the clearest sign yet that Musk is betting heavily on AI coding tools as SpaceX tries to narrow the gap with rivals OpenAI and Anthropic. Cursor has become one of the fastest-growing names in AI-assisted programming. Its software helps developers …

Elon Musk Becomes World’s First Trillionaire After Historic SpaceX IPO

Elon Musk Becomes World’s First Trillionaire After Historic SpaceX IPO

Published by Webster

Elon Musk’s fortune has crossed a line no individual has reached before. SpaceX’s Nasdaq debut pushed Musk’s estimated net worth above $1 trillion after shares rose 19% on their first day of trading. The milestone reflects both the scale of SpaceX’s new public valuation and Musk’s unusually concentrated stakes across Tesla, SpaceX, and other ventures. Musk was already the richest man on the planet before the SpaceX IPO, with a net worth more than three times that of the next-closest individual, Larry Page, the co-founder of Google. He is the only one among the 10 wealthiest billionaires to derive a large portion of his net worth from multiple companies. While Musk will not be able to access a large portion of his net worth, he can borrow against his shares to raise billions of dollars in cash for future acquisitions or investments. It may not be the end of Musk’s net worth growth either, with a Tesla pay package that could award him $1 trillion if he meets key objectives and the company’s valuation surpasses …

After Elon Musk, Greeks feel Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey doesn’t sound Greek to them | Hollywood News

After Elon Musk, Greeks feel Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey doesn’t sound Greek to them | Hollywood News

Published by Parlour News

Billionaire businessman Elon Musk may have his own reasons of calling out Christopher Nolan’s “anti-white racism” for casting Black actor Lupita Nyong’o as the Helen of Troy in his upcoming ancient epic The Odyssey, a film adaptation of the text by ancient Greek poet Homer.  But his concerns of the lack of Greek representation in the film have now found resonance in people from Greece itself. A guest contributor in the Greek City Times called out Nolan’s ignorance of their people in a recent open latter.  “Greek people did not disappear after the age of myth. Greek culture was not frozen in classical marble. Greek language was not extinguished in antiquity. We are still here,” they wrote, adding, “For more than 3,000 continuous years, Greek identity has persisted through transformation rather than disappearance.” “At every stage, something essential remained unbroken: language, memory, and cultural continuity. Greek is still spoken today, the oldest continuously surviving language in Europe. Not reconstructed. Not revived. But lived. That continuity matters when stories like The Odyssey are retold,” the author argued. …

1 min readUpdated: May 18, 2026 11:36 PM IST Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Monday lost a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman after a US jury found that the artificial intelligence company was not liable to Musk for having allegedly strayed from its original mission to benefit humanity. The jury in California federal court, Oakland, in a unanimous verdict, held that Musk brought his case too late. The trial in the matter had begun on April 28, Reuters reported. In the lawsuit, Musk had accused Altman of violating a non-profit contract by shifting OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, to a for-profit company after the world’s richest person donated $38 million. Musk argued that Altman swindled him by accepting the $38 million charity and then going back on OpenAI’s original non-profit mission to develop artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity, BBC reported.

Elon Musk slams Christopher Nolan for casting Lupita Nyong’o as ‘race-swapped’ Helen in The Odyssey: ‘Insult to Homer’

Published by Parlour News

The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan‘s adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic, has been facing considerable backlash on social media for its casting choices. At its centre are the casting of Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong’o. The latter plays Helen of Troy in the film. Many social media users have criticised casting a black woman to play a character from ancient Greece, while others have defended the choice saying Odyssey is a work of fiction, open for interpretation. Elon Musk has criticised Lupita Nyong’o’s casting as Helen of Troy in The Odyssey. Now, Tesla CEO and world’s richest man Elon Musk has also waded into the controversy, criticising Nolan and saying he has ‘race-swapped’ characters as ‘he wants awards’. Musk owns the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where much of the discourse around The Odyssey is taking place. The controversy began after Nolan confirmed that Lupita would portray Helen of Troy and her sister Clytemnestra in the epic adaptation of Homer’s classic poem.

How Elon Musk used SpaceX to benefit himself and his businesses | Technology News

Published by Parlour News

In January 2018, Elon Musk needed $100 million. Instead of calling a bank, he turned to SpaceX, the rocket company he founded and where he serves as CEO. Over the next three years, Musk borrowed a total of $500 million from his company. The loan terms were significantly lower than what most banks offered, with an interest rate that fluctuated from less than 1% to nearly 3%, according to internal SpaceX documents obtained by The New York Times. The documents did not say how Musk planned to use the money, which he paid back to SpaceX by the end of 2021. The loans and their exceptionally kind terms, which are not permitted at public companies, were possible only because SpaceX is privately held. They were just one way Musk has used SpaceX as a kind of piggy bank over the last two decades, according to an examination by the Times based on corporate filings, lawsuits, internal documents and interviews with people close to the firm. Musk not only secured loans from SpaceX to himself, but …
