latest high-conviction thesis
Gerstner: SpaceX acquires Cursor, on track for $10B exit run-rate this year, in a dramatic model upgrade▾

Cursor had more private coding tokens than the public internet. SpaceX injects that data into Grok 4.3 pre-training on 1.5T params. Composer 2.5 was already Pareto-dominant 12 days ago. Anthropic has already shown frontier coding revenue can scale fast.
