Claim of Cursor inquiry into SpaceX training data remains unverified

Cursor employees reportedly examined whether confidential information reached SpaceX for AI training. The underlying account could not be independently verified, and the available evidence does not establish that any transfer or training use occurred.

Cursor confirmed on August 14 that SpaceX had completed its acquisition. The company said their relationship began with an April partnership focused on model training and that SpaceX’s computing resources would support further development. That announcement does not substantiate the alleged data incident.

Cursor’s published policy says enabling Privacy Mode prevents customer information from being used to train its models. With that setting disabled, the company says it may retain and use coding activity and related material for model improvement. Those stated rules do not resolve what happened in the alleged inquiry; its findings remain unverified.
