Mike Lindell Back On Twitter, Immediately Gets Re-Banned

MyPillow CEO turned 2020 election truther Mike Lindell returned to Twitter on Sunday afternoon after Elon Musk agreed to purchase the platform for $44 billion this past week.

However, Lindell’s revival was short-lived. Three and a half hours after sending out his first tweet, he was re-banned.

“Hello, everyone at Twitter. This is Mike Lindell,” Lindell said in a video posted Sunday to the new account around 1 p.m. Eastern. “I’m here to tell you about my new account here, @MikeJLindell. That’s the only account over here at Twitter that I’m using.”

“So we started this account,” he continued. “Please share it with everybody you know. Let everybody you know so we can get the word out over here at Twitter in case they do take it down.”

By the time he was banned again on Sunday, he had accumulated over 39,000 followers.

“The account you referenced was permanently suspended for violating the Twitter Rules on ban evasion,” a Twitter spokesperson told The Daily Beast Sunday evening regarding the Lindell account.

Asked to comment on the suspension, the pillow executive told The Daily Beast that the decision to give him the boot was “a shame.”

Circumventing a ban? That's a ban.

I can’t believe he thought that would work. Oh wait, of course I can.
