Key point

xAI warned employees to limit contact with Cursor staff to prevent business entanglement during the acquisition process.

Details

xAI's chief legal officer warned employees to carefully manage their interactions with Cursor staff. The guidance states that contact beyond what is necessary to implement the technical partnership should be avoided.

Such a warning is a standard procedure commonly seen during acquisition processes. However, there is criticism that the move came somewhat late, given that employees from both companies had already been collaborating together for weeks.

If allegations arise that the two sides' businesses have been improperly intermingled, the ongoing acquisition deal itself could be jeopardized.
