Elon may be buying Cursor, the AI coding assistant, for $60 billion. Claude is now competing directly with SaaS companies built on its technology. Geopolitical instability in Iran could trigger economic shocks beyond oil prices, and OpenAI is losing key staff as frontier labs race to consolidate AI startups.

You're going to get this a horde of startups building in an AI-native mode, and the big companies will struggle to adopt. SpaceX negotiates the right to buy Cursor for $60 billion. Is this just Elon's normal play?
This is actually what a Dyson Swarm probably looks like. This is where it's all coming down to. This is like the final countdown of whatever stage of the singularity we're in.
