SpaceX is acquiring AI-code-writing start-up Cursor for $60 billion, a deal that signals a significant shift towards AI. The company has also bought Elon Musk's xAI and is pursuing a vast network of data centers in space. SpaceX's AI investments may impact its work with NASA on the Artemis program, for which it is contracted to provide a Starship-based Human Landing System. The company's Starship rocket development has been delayed, and NASA has reopened the contract to competitors. SpaceX sees a $22.7 trillion market in AI for businesses and is preparing for an initial public offering in June. The company's AI pivot has raised questions about its priorities and potential impact on its partnerships with NASA and the Pentagon.
