SpaceX attempted to acquire AI coding startup Cognition to boost its AI capabilities and compete with leaders like OpenAI and Google. Cognition's CEO denied the acquisition talks, stating the company is not for sale, but both firms may still collaborate, possibly with Cognition using SpaceX's computing resources. This follows SpaceX's recent $60 billion acquisition of another AI startup, Cursor, and its ongoing efforts to expand in AI, including its xAI business. Cognition remains a major independent AI coding startup valued around $25-40 billion, with notable enterprise clients and recent funding rounds. The deal's end doesn't rule out future partnerships as SpaceX pushes to grow its AI presence.
