Ilon Mask poklonio milion dolara za Muzej Nikole Tesle

Iloan Mask, pronalazač i milioner i vlasnik “Tesla Motors”, donirao je milion dolara za Naučni centar Tesla u okrugu Safolk u Njujorku na Long Ajlendu, na mestu Vardenklifa, jedine preostale laboratorije slavnog naučnika. Za taj potez Maska veliku zaslugu ima jedan autor veb stripa, prenosi CNN.

Metju Inman, čiji strip i sajt The Oatmeal privlači milione čitalaca svakog meseca, potvrdio je u četvrtak da je razgovarao sa Maskom i da mu je on potvrdio donaciju.

Inman je rekao da mu je Mask rekao dve stvari tokom telefonskog razgovora:
- napraviće punkt za punjenje Tesla automobila na parkingu ispred muzeja.
- doniraće milion dolara da se muzej napravi i počne sa radom.

Osnivač komapnije Tesla Motors već je ranije donirao 2,500 dolara za budući muzej.

Naučni centar Tesla potvrdio je ovu vest na svom tviteru.

    $1 million from Elon Musk! And a supercharging station! Thank you, Mr. Musk!!!

U jednom od svojih stripova, Inman je poredio Teslu i “stao na njegovu stranu” sa Teslinim (u svetu poznatijim savremenikom) rivalom Tomasom Edisonom. 2012. godine organizovao je akciju da kupi Vardenklif i da ga pretvori u muzej posvećen Nikoli Tesli.

Ubrzo je pokrenuo akciju na sajtu Indiegogo, koju je nazvao “Hajde da napravimo “prokleti” Teslin muzej” (Let's Build a G**damn Tesla Museum), koja je sakupila neverovatnih 1,3 miliona dolara. Od tada do danas prikupljena suma dostigla je skoro 8 miliona dolara potrebnih da se prostor restaurira i izgradi Muzej.

Ove godine je Inman u svom stripu recenzirao novi Tesla Model S i praktično kroz njega pozvao Maska da pomogne. Par sati od objavljivanja tog stripa Mask je postovao na Tviteru: "Biće mi drago da pomognem.”
