Is there a term for “lying by imprecise wording likely to be interpreted in a more serious way that what is actually the supportable message”? Because this headline is such a prime example.

When you read this it sounds like Grok fired missiles in some way. But the actually supportable message is that it was used in target selection, and its speed enabled the missile attack to reach such a scale in a short time frame.

Edit: Not that I think that’s good or anything, don’t get me wrong. I’m just railing against the shoddy journalism, despite the horrifying content.

I guess the earliest would be in July, because they also stated in the same document I linked:

The Company currently expects the Merger to close during the third quarter of 2026.

It “was” not anything, as it is still upcoming.

They will take a volume weighted average closing price of the seven previous days:

At the effective time (the “Effective Time”) of the Merger, each share of Cursor’s common stock and each share of Cursor’s preferred stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger will be automatically converted into the right to receive shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on an implied equity value of Cursor of $60.0 billion and the price of the Company’s Class A common stock equal to the volume-weighted average closing price thereof over the seven consecutive trading days immediately preceding the closing of the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”).

They are also claiming to be training their own new model on SpaceX’s infrastructure. I don’t particularly trust them, but I’ll give the citation anyway just for additional info.

Together with SpaceXAI, we’re training a significantly larger model from scratch, using 10x more total compute. With Colossus 2’s million H100-equivalents and our combined data and training techniques, we expect this to be a major leap in model capability.

They entered into an agreement to buy Cursor, with an expected time for the merger in Q3. It’s an all stock transaction, the number of shares that will depend on the SpaceX share price, to make up the 60 billion USD. Also they will pay in Class A shares (so the shitty ones with nearly no voting power)
