Wow, cursor costed more to Musk than twitter

Yet somehow less valuable. Isn't it just a fork of VSCode with more AI tools built in?

Pretty much. And is getting its lunch eaten by the fact that people are using tools like Claude code and open code instead of vscode interfaces.

This is cursor cashing out on top before the fallout and Musk being stuck with the bag.
