Overview: Developer swyx (@swyx) posts on X that Cursor is "slaying it" after its acquisition, calling the deal one of Elon Musk's best, better than Twitter itself. He says Cursor ended 2025 at $1B in ARR and that its enterprise business grew 300% quarter over quarter. He says these figures can be checked in SEC-audited financials, but the post does not include or link to those filings.

The post is a single opinion from one individual and is not a company announcement. The acquirer, the deal's terms, and the audited figures themselves are not named in the post.
