Really?
Its not a good tech/ AI decision or at least I dont think I would define it exactly like that ...
Its a good vulture capitalist decision. He's in a bubble with a company that is a mess that he merged with a couple other messes, so he's using his new financial capital to buy a market winner.
That's not good tech from a Space X or AI point of view imo, that's just good profiteering from his financial bubble position.
I dont necessary see any value to Cursor for this deal. Do you really wanna use a tool that Musk could demand his new engineers corrupt?
The value in this deal looks to me like a winner getting gobbled up by a financial bubble.
What am I missing?
