When discussing the reasons for acquiring the AI programming company Cursor, Musk stated that to create truly outstanding superintelligence, a large amount of training data is needed, and programming must be mastered.
Musk mentioned that, to his knowledge, there are only three organizations that have sufficient programming training data: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cursor, with Google barely making the list. Musk's SpaceX completed the acquisition of Cursor on August 14, with a transaction price of approximately 60 billion dollars.
