According to the author, magnetism is an implication of Einstein's relativity. Is it true? His arguments sound reasonable, though.

The fact that a moving charge creates a magnetic field was discovered long before special relativity. So the author is using some journalistic licence. The article is correct apart from some imprecise terms.
