xAI's dot.com redirects to Grok after OpenAI Dots launch

OpenAI launched a new AI agent called Dots on Tuesday, featuring a colorful blobby avatar. The launch drew unexpected attention when users noticed that dot.com, owned by Elon Musk's xAI, redirects to the Grok chatbot download page. Domain records show the name was transferred in July. Whether xAI bought it anticipating OpenAI's product name or for routine reasons remains unclear. xAI has not commented. The dots.com domain, a closer match to OpenAI's product, belongs to a long-defunct company.
