xAI acquired the domain name dot.com before OpenAI's Dots AI agent launch, redirecting it to Grok's download page. The move is widely seen as a deliberate trolling tactic by Elon Musk's team against OpenAI's product announcement.
Background
xAI and OpenAI are key competitors in the AI agent space, with both releasing significant products this year. Domain squatting has become a common form of internet trolling among tech competitors.
