OpenAI Cut Off a Billion-Dollar Customer to Avoid Elon Musk

OpenAI ended a partnership with the coding platform Cursor after SpaceX acquired the company, despite projections that the deal would generate over $1 billion in annual revenue. The decision reflects the ongoing tension between OpenAI and Elon Musk, who has previously filed lawsuits against the AI developer. By cutting ties, OpenAI has opted to forgo significant potential earnings to avoid integrating its technology with a business now owned by a vocal critic.
