Cursor - The AI Code Editor
Built to make you extraordinarily productive, Cursor is the best way to code with AI.
by Anysphere (now SpaceX subsidiary)
Features
- VS Code-fork editor with Tab (next-edit) completions, inline edit (Ctrl/Cmd K), chat and codebase-aware context via @ references (@Codebase, @Docs, @Web, images).

Notes
Appendix A of the audit called the SpaceX deal “reported, secondary sources”; it is now confirmed by multiple outlets and the Wikipedia article quoting the share-conversion figure (389,289,254 SpaceX Class A shares). Annualized revenue figures ($3B+ ARR as of May 2026 per Wikipedia) are second-hand.
