SpaceX reportedly approaches AI coding startup Cognition AI Inc. about a potential acquisition, according to people familiar with the matter. Bloomberg reports the contact is part of SpaceX’s effort to gain ground in the fast-moving enterprise AI race.
Multiple outlets frame the move as a potential second large takeover in recent months. TechCrunch notes that SpaceX has already acquired Cursor as it tries to catch up with rivals including OpenAI and Anthropic in enterprise AI. The Next Web adds timing context, saying the report comes about five days after the Cursor purchase.
Cognition’s CEO, Scott Wu, disputes the report publicly. The Next Web says Wu responds that the company is “not for sale” and that it “hasn’t been talking.” Across the coverage, Cognition is described as not engaging with the potential acquisition, while SpaceX’s interest is attributed to unnamed sources cited by Bloomberg.
