Elon just paid $60 billion for the one screen where OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google compete for the same customer. Then he put his own model on the menu.

Cursor is where a developer picks which AI writes their code, and it runs inside more than half the Fortune 500. Now the company that owns Grok owns Cursor. So every rival faces the same trap. Keep your model listed inside a product run by your direct competitor, feeding it your demand, your economics, and control over where you sit on the page. Or pull out, and hand the largest enterprise coding channel to the one rival who controls it.

Both doors open into the same room. Grok does not have to be the best model for this to pay off. It only has to own the place where every other model competes for the work.

That is what the $60 billion headline hides. The single neutral ground in the AI business just stopped being neutral, and the company building Grok is the one standing on it.

The piece works out what he does with it.

Do I know anyone who is a WordPress plugin dev, also good with backend JS stuff who’d be interested to work with me on web3 project? Part-time would work. Potentially open-ended.
