xAI-owned dot.com redirects to Grok amid OpenAI’s Dots launch
After OpenAI announced a new always-on agent called Dots, the domain “dot.com” — shown in Whois as transferred to xAI in July — redirects to the download page for xAI’s Grok chatbot, prompting online speculation the move was a deliberate poke at OpenAI. Observers first flagged the redirect on X, and xAI has been contacted for comment; other related typo domains are not owned by xAI according to the report.
