This is a bit hyperbolic. I'm a big fan of Elixir and Phoenix, and most of my future client work is going to be done in Elixir if I have anything to say about it. But making broad, poorly supported statements about its comparison to other languages and platforms is neither necessary nor does it make the Elixir community seem rational. Cargo-culting has done a lot of damage to the credibility of platforms of various stripes in recent years, and one of the first signs of that is preposterous statements like "X obsoletes Y". Stick with "X is really good at <feature> and if you do A, B, or C you should check it out."
