Cognition CEO Scott Wu rejected a report that claimed Elon Musk's SpaceX attempted to acquire the AI coding startup. "Huge respect for the SpaceX team but Cognition is not for sale," Scott said. Reacting to his remark, Musk said, "What Scott says is accurate. We haven’t talked with Cognition about anything except making sure Grok works well for their needs."
