Last week, we told you that the founder of The Oatmeal, Matthew Inman, was looking for a way to purchase Nikola Tesla's old tower and make it into a museum. In just one week, his $850,000 fundraising goal has been reached and exceeded. Wow!

It was brought to my attention last night that The Oatmeal was trying to help turn Nikola Tesla's lab into a museum. At one point The Oatmeal's Matthew Inman tweeted Elon Musk — Tesla Motors CEO and Tesla fan — asking him if he'd like to help.

Our old friend Matthew Inman — better known as The Oatmeal — is on a mission. He wants to buy back Nikola Tesla's old lab and turn it into a museum.
