Elon Musk's xAI Acquires Domain Ahead of OpenAI's Dots Launch

29 Eylül 2026TechCrunch

Elon Musk's xAI secured the domain 'dot.com' before OpenAI's Dots launch, redirecting to Grok chatbot.
Elon Musk's xAI seems to have made a strategic move ahead of OpenAI's launch of its new AI agent, Dots. The company acquired the domain name 'dot.com,' which now redirects users to its Grok chatbot download page.
This has led to speculation that xAI may be trolling OpenAI, capitalizing on the timing of the launch.
The rivalry between Elon Musk and OpenAI has been ongoing, with Musk being one of the co-founders of OpenAI before stepping away. The launch of Dots represents OpenAI's latest effort to advance its AI capabilities, while xAI's actions indicate a proactive approach to positioning itself in the market.
The acquisition of 'dot.com' by xAI raises questions about competitive tactics in the AI space. Musk's actions suggest a deliberate attempt to overshadow OpenAI's announcement, highlighting the increasingly aggressive nature of competition among AI developers.
