Oatmeal is a reference to the comic, The Oatmeal, whose author Matthew Inman, is a big admirer of Nikola Tesla and started a fundraiser to help raise money for a Tesla museum. The campaign was a huge success being able to raise over 1 million dollars to buy the property for the museum. The wiki summary better explains it:

 

In August 2012, The Oatmeal launched a fundraising campaign on the Indiegogo crowd funding website to raise $1.7 million for the nonprofit organization Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe in order to purchase the Wardenclyffe Tower property (in Shoreham, Long Island, New York, about 60 miles from Manhattan, New York City) due to concerns about an apparent offer to purchase the site and develop it for commercial use. The goal was to raise at least $850,000 to buy the property and restore the facility with the hope of eventually building a museum on the grounds in honor of the man who built Wardenclyffe, the Serbian-American electrical engineer and inventor Nikola Tesla. The state of New York agreed to match donations up to half that amount if the fundraiser was able to raise $850,000.^[12][13][14] On August 21, a donation from Elon Musk, co-founder of Tesla Motors, raised the total to $792,000,^[15] and later on the same day, the goal of $850,000 was reached — in just over six days.

A day later, the fundraising group exceeded its target after a $33,333 donation from the producers of the Tesla film Fragments From Olympus-The Vision of Nikola Teslaput the total amount raised at $873,169.^[16] Donors continued to contribute after the goal was reached, donating over $1 million over nine days.^[17] Including New York's matching grant, the crowd funding campaign raised approximately $1.7 million in six days, with the campaign originally slated to run 45 days.^[18] Ultimately, the campaign (plus the New York grant) totaled over $2.1 million.^[19]

The additional funds will be used to fund the cleaning and restoration of the property, with the goal to build a museum on the grounds.^[20][21] Volunteers have begun work on the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe, and recently unveiled a monument to Tesla.^[22]

On the 13th of May 2014, The Oatmeal authored a comic entitled "What it's like to own a Tesla Model S - A cartoonist's review of his magical space car - The Oatmeal"^[23]followed by a follow-up comic entitled "Part Two: Man Vs. Motor"^[24] in which he talked about Nikola Tesla, and Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla Motors. After publishing the comic, he tweeted Elon "@elonmusk I wrote a review of my Model S, and then asked you for a little favor inviting Elon to donate to the Tesla Museum. At 2 A.M. the next morning, Elon responded by tweet: “I would be happy to help”.

According to a blog post by Inman^[25], Musk called him up and pledged two things:

1. A Tesla supercharger would be built just outside of the museum, making the museum a part of his nationwide Tesla recharging network.
2. A million dollars for the development/construction of the museum.
3.
