User slams Elon Musk's nonsensical bundling of Cursor with X

A Reddit user expresses strong dissatisfaction with Elon Musk's decision to bundle Cursor, a software development tool, with X (formerly Twitter) subscriptions. The user argues that the bundling strategy is nonsensical, citing the unrelated nature of the products and the high percentage of anonymous X users who are unlikely to be software developers. Furthermore, the user criticizes the perceived decline in quality and value of Musk's AI offerings, specifically mentioning Grok models and Composer, and concludes that these changes have ruined the Cursor product.
