In response to #32, #33 added a webpage bibliography entry for citation previews. For this, an article by Elon Musk on the "Tesla Blog" was chosen. Presumably for some time now, it is no longer accessible => 302 Redirect to the main blog page (where it also isn't found): https://www.tesla.com/blog/secret-tesla-motors-master-plan-just-between-you-and-me

"title": "The secret Tesla Motors master plan (just between you and me)",
"container-title": "Tesla Blog",
"abstract": "Background: My day job is running a space transportation company called SpaceX, but on the side I am the chairman of Tesla Motors and help formulate the business and product strategy with Martin and the rest of the team. I have also been Tesla Motor's primary funding source from when the company was just three people and a business plan.",

In light of the unavailability as well as recent and past (also quite possibly future) events regarding Musk, I propose replacing this reference with some other suitable page for the sake of having working sources and remaining a neutral entity while fostering a welcoming community to the fullest possible extent, as outlined in the Digital Scholar Articles of Incorporation & Governance Policies.

This choice already sparked some discussion about Musk's transphobic rhetoric and support of conspiracy theories on the Zotero forum in 2023: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/104470/preview-citations-on-zotero-style-repository, however no PR or Issue has been raised (as far as I can tell)
