How do you know the comment was actually from Musk? My guess is that some crank on the internet sent Edge an email claiming to be from Musk, and they published it without doing an identity check. Then the real Musk found out and asked for it to be taken down. The sentence "10 years at most" seems especially stupidly overconfident and inarticulate (and thus unlike something Musk would write).
Just a quick update of a sort, according to this article, the comment was genuine, and that he will write something longer on the topic.
You know, I suppose it's possible. He does have his own bio on the site though. And the "reality club" thing where famous people comment that edge does is part of their content - I would expect them to be open about it if they had made that kind of mistake and apologise for it, but perhaps that's hoping for too much.
How likely do you think it is that it wasn't the real Musk?
Hmmm... This does seem like the most plausible explanation for why the comment was removed - I don't see why Musk would retract his own statement otherwise.
