The Claim

Elon Musk purchased the domain name xvideos.com.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Available evidence does not support the claim and directly points the other way. Current domain ownership records identify xvideos.com as registered to WGCZ S.R.O., not Musk or X-related entities. Reports tying Musk to the domain stem from satire and rebrand-era jokes, while verified reporting only supports his purchase of x.com, a different domain.

Caveats

  • Do not confuse Musk's documented purchase of x.com with ownership of xvideos.com; they are separate domains.
  • Viral posts and joke coverage during the X rebrand are not evidence of an actual domain transaction.
  • WHOIS/registry ownership records are the strongest available evidence here, and no credible sale record overrides them.
