xAI warns employees: limit contact with Cursor

xAI told employees to limit contact with Cursor staff to work necessary for the companies’ announced AI software development partnership.

The instruction came from General Counsel James Burnham, according to reports.

The move follows speculation that xAI may seek to acquire Cursor, though no deal has been finalized.

The guidance suggests xAI is tightening control over the collaboration while broader deal discussions remain unsettled.
