The text states that Elon has given a new talk at TED. The photo accompanying the text is the one used with his March 2013 TED talk.
I hope he has given a new TED talk. I'll check this weekend, thanks.

Yes, Mr Musk is speaking in the week's Vancouver TED "The Future You" talks; he is in the closing session #11 between 9:15 and noon Friday - the one entitled The Future Us.
That session's hosts are Chris Anderson, Kelly Stoetzel and Helen Walters.
In another thread we learned that tickets are ouchily expensive....thank goodness they're already sold out.

Thanks. I'll look forward to watching it via the TED app in a few months.
I expect he will be talking about Neuralink.

I almost forgot that Elon is speaking at this year's TED here in Vancouver... thx for the reminder
fyi anyone who's interested and happens to be here in town on 4/28 can watch a live stream at the Vancouver Public Library, downtown main branch, or also at Kits or Renfrew branches

so I went to the library's free live stream of the final TED session, including a half-hour segment with Elon Musk talking with host Chris Anderson about all sorts of things, including The Boring Company, solar roofs, autonomous cars, Tesla semi-trailer, gigafactories, SpaceX etc. An interesting discussion.
Learned that his idea for digging tunnels was a lot more elaborate than I thought - includes elevators taking your car down from street level and your car sitting on a "skate" zooming you through a 3D network of tunnels at 200kph. Elon also mentioned there'll likely be 4 new gigafactories, locations to be announced sometime late this year, "for the global market".
don't know if or when TED will post video of the whole session, but in the meantime here's a brief video he showed today about the tunnel concept:

funny thing is, Neuralink was one of the few things he didn't talk about! Not enough time

p.s. Just remembered one more little tidbit from the TED session I thought was interesting...
Elon teased a silhouetted photo of the previously announced Tesla semi truck. But he also said he's driven it around the parking lot, and that it's fun and nimble to drive, like a sports car (would love to see Elon doing donuts around the parking lot...). I didn't realize the Tesla truck already existed, I thought it was only a concept so far

Good idea! An important detail is missing from video: Imagine street view when elevator is down.
Perhaps (underground) parking places should also be added. Skate takes car to parking place. Another one passengers closer to their destination.

And here I was assuming he was going to give a TED presentation about Neuralink, but instead it was an interview format and they discussed a lot of different subjects. Actually kind of disappointed, as that doesn't allow for much focus.
TED blog post briefly describing the interview yesterday with Elon What will the future look like? Elon Musk speaks at TED2017
One misstatement by the writer, quote "Tesla Model 3 is coming in July, Musk says, and it’ll have a special feature: autopilot."
That makes it sound like the Model 3 is the first Tesla with autopilot, and that it will be a standard feature. Very poorly worded sentence.

Yeah I agree that was poorly written or misquoted about the Model 3. I don't recall in the actual discussion him emphasizing Autopilot like it was a special feature for the 3

All three of my kids responded to this quote from EM at TED:
“The value of beauty and inspiration is very much underrated, no question,” Musk says, “But I want to be clear: I’m not trying to be anyone’s savior. I’m just trying to think about the future and not be sad.”

That quote reminded me of Jack Ma's comments:
Billionaire Jack Ma says CEOs could be robots in 30 years, warns of decades of ‘pain’ from A.I. impact

It seems to me like Elon stammers a lot more than he use to. I wonder if all of that stress and sleep deprivation is taking a toll on him. I'm a little worried about him. Hopefully Amber can help him de-stress, but she will probably only make his sleep debt worse.

He stammers a lot sometimes, I doubt it's stress or Amber.
Can someone link the video?

official video doesn't seem to be posted online anywhere yet. as I mentioned in another thread, TED still has a for-fee showing of conference highlights in theatres around the world today 4/30, and one of the advertised highlights is Elon's session. So while TED has already posted some of this year's sessions online for free, I'm guessing they'll hang on to this one until some time after all the paid showings
These days you can't throw a rock without hitting a psycho!!!************
the really crazy thing is this whack job will probably profit from this somehow!
