Florida Principal Resigns After Falling Victim to Fake Elon Musk Scam

Dr. Jan McGee, the principal of Burns Science and Technology Charter in Oak Hill, Florida, resigned after writing a $100,000 check to an internet scammer posing as Elon Musk. McGee claimed she was "groomed" by the fake Musk, who she had been talking to for at least four months. The principal had authorization to write a check up to $50,000 out of the school's account but no more without board approval, which she did not get. Other issues with the principal were brought up, including a toxic work environment, and three other administrators said they would leave rather than work for her.
