Cognition CEO denies report that SpaceX tried to acquire the startup

Cognition, recognized for its autonomous AI agent Devin, addressed recent rumors concerning a potential acquisition by SpaceX. The startup's leadership clarified that no such deal was finalized or actively pursued.
The speculation emerged alongside reports of SpaceX acquiring Cursor, an AI-powered code editor. This transaction marks a significant step for the aerospace company into the competitive landscape of enterprise artificial intelligence.
