SpaceX Super Intelligence bundles X Premium, Grok, and Cursor into single subscription

Oct 12, 2026

SpaceX Super Intelligence, formerly xAI, launched The X Subscription to bundle X Premium, Grok AI tools, Grok Bot, and AI coding startup Cursor into a single multi-tiered service ranging from a free tier to $200 per month. The move follows SpaceX's acquisition of Cursor in August 2026 and its February 2026 acquisition of xAI. The bundled structure aims to leverage X's built-in user base to generate recurring revenue while competing against OpenAI and Anthropic.

The X Subscription tier pricing

▪SpaceX Super Intelligence introduced The X Subscription featuring a free entry tier with capped Grok chat and basic X posting alongside four paid membership options.
▪The X Subscription offers four paid tiers priced at $8 per month for Plus, $30 per month for Premium, $100 per month for Super, and $200 per month for Ultra.

Unified features and credit pool

▪Subscribers to higher tiers of The X Subscription receive features such as ad-free timeline scrolling on X, verified handle selection, and priority access to new Grok models.
▪The X Subscription unifies features from X Premium, Grok AI chat and media tools, Grok Bot, and the Cursor AI coding environment into one package.
▪The X Subscription utilizes a shared monthly pool of usage credits that applies across Grok chat, voice, image generation, API tools, and Cursor coding capabilities.

Transition from standalone plans

▪Cursor closed its standalone Ultra subscription plan to new subscribers prior to the rollout of The X Subscription bundle.
▪The X Subscription replaces standalone plans for SuperGrok, X Premium, and Cursor, while allowing existing users to keep current plans or upgrade gradually via X billing settings.

Updated coding usage allowances

▪Cursor staff member Colin announced on October 12, 2026, that paid tiers of The X Subscription provide at least double the Grok-model coding usage of equivalent former Cursor plans.
▪The X Subscription maintains existing per-seat pricing for team and enterprise customers while tripling their coding usage allowance under the updated plan structure.

SpaceXSI history and milestones

▪SpaceX acquired xAI in February 2026, and Elon Musk renamed SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI, short for superintelligence, following remarks by President Donald Trump promoting super intelligence over artificial intelligence.
▪SpaceX officially acquired AI coding startup Cursor in August 2026 following integration efforts between xAI and Cursor that began in mid-2026.
▪Grok Bot entered beta on August 11, 2026, with access initially restricted to select subscription tiers.

Subscription unification strategy

▪SpaceX Super Intelligence structured The X Subscription to leverage X's built-in audience for recurring revenue and compete against AI rivals OpenAI and Anthropic.
▪Product lead Maxime Prades stated on September 12, 2026, that the team was working on unifying subscription plans for an upcoming rollout.

Debatable claims

▪SpaceXSI should offer Cursor as a standalone subscription rather than bundling it with X Premium
▪SpaceXSI $200 monthly tier goes too far in restricting top-tier AI capabilities to high-paying users
▪Deprecating standalone product plans to push unified tiers is justified for AI platform integration
