Florida charter school principal fired over baffling participation in fake Elon Musk scam [1]

['Jason Weisberger']

Date: 2023-03-29

It is unclear why anyone would think that a billionaire "invests in" a charter school or that a charter school would have to invest in the billionaire's projects first. Apparently, a Florida charter school principal was told she was being scammed but refused to believe it. Perhaps the fake Elon Musk was very charming and had a lot of charisma, which is also a good sign it was fake. Regardless, the principal wrote fake Elon a sizeable check.

The principal resigned, and the check was stopped.
