Love Song To Nikola Tesla

In 2012 The Oatmeal raised $1.37m through a crowd-funding campaign to buy the property of Nikola Tesla’s former laboratory. With a combined grant from NY State for an addition $850k, this money was used to make a bid on the property. This initial round was enough to buy a laboratory, but not enough to build a museum.
Elon Musk has agreed to donate $1M, in addition to building a Tesla supercharger station in the museum parking lot. He also issued a challenge to The Oatmeal to try and raise the rest of the money.See how you can help.
