Elixir certainly has its use case, but so does Ruby. Things like the huge amount of available gems and a big community, especially combined with a proven framework like Rails really makes it easy to build applications.

Elixir is well suited for a lot of things Ruby is but also has some shortcomings. For instance, the albeit growing community and available libraries is just not on the same level as Ruby. Furthermore the amount of available engineers knowing elixir can be a problem when hiring (ofcourse these can be trained internally) but in general hiring will be a tad bit harder.

Whilst I agree with you on the technical side (language is cleaner and obviously more performant) I do not agree on the statement dat Elixir is a better tool, as with a lot of things in software it depends.
