This whole "high pressure superconductivity" field is mostly bunk. There's real scientists working in the field, but not very good ones, and there's also straight up charlatans in their midst as well.
Even the real scientists working on this stuff never actually demonstrate that they're seeing real superconductivity in their experiments, rather they just show stuff like a resistance drop that could be explained by a short circuit or even just a regular metallic phase (most of these conductivity measurements these people do can't even tell the difference between copper and a real superconductor).
I'd treat this sort of thing with extreme skepticism and move on.
