I mean of course the headline's sensationalized a little bit. What he said is that his Neuralink technology could reach the point where people could communicate without talking in 5 to 10 years "if development continues to accelerate". That's saying nothing about human language becoming obsolete. That said, he's still clearly a crackpot.

Neuralink...wouldn't we still communicate in the human language, it just wouldn't be spoken? Headlines, sheesh.

Saw the interview. He didn't say that the human language would be obsolete in 5 years. The headline is sensationalized.
