Perhaps I’m missing something, but isn’t Cursor simply a VSCode fork with some AI extensions integrated into it? Hate aside, what is the actual technical value of the product?

While it is nowhere near the value Elon paid. It is a tool for easy coding with ai. Like the others thousands that out there. I mean spacex buying companies left and right at prices that make no sense is weird. Spacex being valued that much when all they do is burn money at a rate of several states is confusing.

Elon getting richer by the second with all that nonsense is suspicious....

Maybe he's buying with overvalued useless SpaceX stock. SMH
