The internet is convinced Elon Musk’s xAI trolled OpenAI’s ‘Dots’ launch

OpenAI launched a new product called Dots, an always-on AI agent with a bubbly, blobby avatar. The internet noticed that the domain "dot.com" is owned by xAI, the company founded by Elon Musk, a former OpenAI founder who left to launch the competitor Grok and subsequently sued OpenAI. That domain currently redirects to the download page for Grok, leading many to believe xAI purchased it as a prank after learning about OpenAI's product name, though xAI has not confirmed this motivation. The circumstance is particularly notable because xAI does not own other obvious typo domains, suggesting the "dot.com" purchase may have been intentional rather than for typical domain-buying reasons.
