It may be that spaceX is buying an operation that would realistically take 5 months and 100 million to copy in-house for 60B because the worry is that waiting 5 months might cost that much in some sort of lost opportunity. It also might be that in any negotiation SpaceX is viewed as incredibly cash-rich and so anything can be sold to them for inflated prices.

This assumes that Cursor's annual revenue will be the same or higher for over a decade. It's not really like they don't have competitors
I wouldn't bet on Musk, but I DEFINITELY wouldn't bet against him. Anyone betting against him over the last 10 years has been viciously smoked (many short-selling hedge funds got wiped out completely).
In terms of the stock market, definitely. Honestly though, all those people who said self-driving wouldn't be solved by now, that Tesla didn't have a great moat and that the Boring Company was profoundly stupid were in fact correct.
I found 1-2 sort of interesting posts but not interesting enough to make it worth it.
It was fun for a while blogging with grok back when it was free.
Kind of interesting that engagement is zero on all of my postings. Not that I care for it but it shows quality isn't measured by users. The system prefer people read about users getting banned and that same video again and again. lol
With rss I just sort by date and eliminate duplicates. Not very hard and dramatically more interesting.
So just to be clear, down 15% YoY is not "more or less the same or higher activity"

Also, they reported a 60% drop in advertising revenue from 2021-2026... yikes
Where are you getting that? There's not a single piece of data out there that will tell you Twitter has increased in users. Not only have they visibly dropped in users, but it's becoming increasingly clear the site is Astroturfed with bots.
The choice is not Twitter or Bluesky. Most people moved on to TikTok. I don't know a single person who uses Twitter.
