Elon Musk is talking about brain-computer interfacing eliminating the need
for speech and writing (I think). Or maybe the interviewer is putting those
words in his mouth.

BCI might be useful for those with ALS or severe brain injury I suppose.
But I think there are cognitive limits that would keep it from being any
faster as long as we use neurons instead of transistors for thinking. Once
we get to that point, I suppose we will have figured out how to upload our
souls, or at least it will look like we did.

You still need a protocol for communication between brains, whether natural
or artificial. In my 2013 distributed AGI proposal I use natural language
between peers. Most likely that will be English, since it is taught to
children in almost every country now. Once we move beyond natural language,
humans will be irrelevant.
