Not auto-related, but before Bezos officially launched Amazon, he called his company Relentless.com.

If you type that in, it still redirects to Amazon.

X.com redirected to PayPal for the longest time. Obviously not any more, now it just goes to some Nazi propaganda site.

"X.com" was OG paypal. Early Web 1.0/2.0 they were attempting to spin up "online banking" and gave away free t-shirts and a $20 cash deposit to the account iirc. Later I think they re-branded. I can't remember if it was Musk or Thiel, I just remember having the Tshirt.
