I ran Claude Code and Cursor together, and the combination does something neither can do alone
Both tools have their own specialities.
It’s likely xAI will want to develop Cursor into a full-blown harness that competes with Codex, Claude Cowork, and Google’s Antigravity.
But the SpaceX deal could compromise that. After all, if Anthropic or OpenAI views SpaceX as a competitive threat, they could pull support for Cursor. Similarly, xAI, Bala explained, SpaceX could block its rivals from Cursor if its own AI coding capabilities improve significantly.
How the hottest AI coding company navigated its situationship with Anthropic and hitched its fate to Elon Musk's chaotic rocket.
Their goal was to appeal to companies that use automated software code generators - the companies using Claude Code, GitHub, Copilot, Cognition, or Cursor, to develop software. These companies wanted a product that could ensure that their use of code generators would be safe and relatively error-free.
