iirc elon said 5-10 years and he said it for the first time on rogan's podcast in 2020.
old news discussed hundreds of times
first 2 sentences made me think of CRISPR, which was later mentioned in your post.
yeah it's here already, and it's here for a while. We know for a fact China is using CRISP with full steam. What we don't know is, in which level of development and usage USA is.
it's also here with an "excuse" of creating your desired DNA to reduce the risk of illnesses and handicaps in newborns. so I'd say apes like this topic's OP and such will openhandedly welcome it

A Chinese court has sentenced He Jiankui, the biophysicist who announced that he had created the world’s first gene-edited babies, to three years in prison for “illegal medical practice”, and handed down shorter sentences to two colleagues who assisted him. The punishments put to rest speculation over whether the Chinese government would bring criminal charges for an act that shocked the world, and are likely to deter others from similar behaviour, say Chinese scientists.
Eugenics via genocide good eugenics via genetic modification bad. The pushback is unsurprising however, I don't trust those in power in most decision-making, why would I trust them for this. What a sad state of affairs this mistrust exists in the first place. Almost leaning towards the idea that some kind of cleansing is necessary - but then again you go full circle.
