SpaceX, the company of the world’s richest man Elon Musk, has also taken a big step in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Elon Musk has bought AI startup company ‘Cursor’ for $60 billion. This amount is Rs 5.6 lakh crore in Indian rupees. Musk has spent a huge amount to buy this small company.

The name of the company that makes the cursor is Anysphere. Anisphere is also a startup, which operates from San Francisco, USA. Cursor is an Anisphere subsidiary company that does coding work. SpaceX has praised Cursor, saying it has “access to expert software engineers.” This is the reason why Elon Musk has spent such a huge amount.
