SpaceX is leveraging its Starlink infrastructure to sell AI compute, already signing $27.8B in annualized deals with Anthropic and Google. The acquisition of Cursor signals a move into the developer tools layer of the AI stack. Despite the growth, SpaceX remains unprofitable with a $4.9B net loss, and critics point to internal subsidies where the rocket division charges Starlink $0 for launches to inflate Starlink's $4.4B operating profit.
