Elon Musk is not sure that in 7000 years people will speak English
Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared on Weibo an interesting conversation he had with his son. He asked dad a question if people will speak English in 7000 years. What did Musk say?
“ Probably not, ” was the answer. The head of Tesla made the following argument: 7000 years ago there was not the slightest hint of English on Earth, and it is unlikely that at that time anyone could have foreseen such widespread use of it after so many centuries. Probably, in 7000 years there will be some other language (or even a different way of communication), which the living today do not even know about.
