Mr. Musk is a guy who gets things done. The founder of two tech companies, Tesla
Motors andSpaceX, is bringing electric vehicles to mass market and(26)_______ humans
to live on other planets. This sounds like so much hot air, but the near $13 billion
fortune this entrepreneur has(27)_______ comes from practical achievements rather
than hypothetical ones.

that robots will one day become so(29)_______ that they’ll murder all of us. These
fears are mostly(30)_______ : as with hysteria aboutgenetic modification, we humans
are generally wise enough to manage these problems with speed and care.

to read world-class journalism, we should be their fans. Especially since journalism
is one job robots will never do.
