[Musk's First Address to Cursor: Grok is Behind, I'm Not Used to Losing] Beating AI News, citing five informed sources, The Information reported that on the day SpaceX completed its $60 billion acquisition of Cursor, Musk delivered his first speech to the entire Cursor team. He openly admitted that Grok is lagging behind competitors and stated that he is 'not used to losing,' urging Cursor to help SpaceXAI catch up as soon as possible. Musk also made a rare move by praising his competitors. He acknowledged that Anthropic is leading the AI race and is a formidable rival. Additionally, he expressed his belief that AI will eventually become so powerful that humans will be unable to control it, emphasizing that SpaceXAI must develop the technology ahead of other companies. After the acquisition, Cursor did not continue to operate independently. Employees have already begun integrating into various SpaceXAI teams. Cursor CEO Michael Truell now reports directly to Musk, while the two co-founders have joined the pre-training and machine learning teams respectively. Cursor's official account previously confirmed the completion of the acquisition and stated that both parties would jointly advance products like Grok and Cursor. This is not the first time Musk has admitted that xAI is falling behind. Back in March, he publicly stated that xAI 'didn't get it right the first time' and needed to be rebuilt from the ground up. Although the latest Grok 4.6 has significantly caught up with OpenAI and Anthropic in some public evaluations, Musk's internal speech clearly indicates that he still doesn't feel they've reached parity.
