Morgan Stanley ties its $300 SpaceX target to Starship Flight 15 and late-October earnings

Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas told clients to buy SpaceX before Starship Flight 15, with a $300 target about 75% above Monday's $171.09 close. Tying the call to dates means it gets checked twice within weeks, first by the test flight and then by third-quarter results expected in late October.

NYC Council subpoenas SpaceXAI, the only major AI firm that ignored its safety inquiry

NYC Council Speaker Julie Menin issued her first subpoena to SpaceXAI, ordering Elon Musk or a representative to testify at an October 5 AI safety hearing. For a company valued near $2 trillion, the larger exposure is the city bills on the agenda and the Grok lawsuits it already faces.

Cursor's case for being bought is unit economics, and the post-close note promises nothing else

SpaceX has closed its $60bn purchase of Cursor. Cursor's own note argues the GPU fleet makes its models cheaper to serve, and commits to no leadership or product change.

Cursor ships a code host; GitHub goes dark for 402 minutes the same day

Origin's staged beta and a six-hour-42-minute GitHub incident landed in the same news cycle. The useful takeaway is not a migration plan, it is knowing where your code lives when the host is gone.

Cursor becomes a code host by default, and GitHub's seven outages in 15 days is the opening

Origin arrives opt-out on every paid Cursor plan with no published terms on retention, residency or training use. GitHub's reliability record is what makes the pitch land.
