Is it possible that artificial intelligence will destroy humanity? Absolutely. At the same time, it is clear that, whatever the outcome, artificial intelligence has to be developed; it is the most natural way for us to evolve as a species. Creating a functional AI and eventually merging with it is our future, and whether it will make us into robots, or humans with enhanced capabilities, is not very important.
Musk is good at what he does, but he is not exactly a mastermind when it comes to matters outside his areas of expertise. The fears he is propagating are mostly based on science fiction books and movies about AI overtaking the world, and have little basis in reality as far as we know.
Zuckerberg is looking forward and pushes humanity there. Musk is looking backwards, and while he still pushes humanity forward, I would not trust his general world view.
