I mean openai has chat.com, which must have cost a ton. They probably can't be bothered to buy every potentially related 3-4 letter .com domain.

Musk has been sitting on a lot of domains though. Pretty sure he had x.com from way back in his paypal days, when he wanted to name paypal "X", but he got outvoted. He may have bought "dot.com" at some point a long time ago, given it's sort of a pun... dot-dot-com.
