Lindell set up a new account Sunday on Twitter under @MikeJLindell. The account was quickly suspended.

Twitter said Monday that Lindell’s new account was permanently suspended for violating its rules on ban evasion.

Lindell’s original Twitter account was permanently banned in January 2021 after Lindell continued to perpetuate the baseless claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 U.S. presidential election. At the time Twitter said that it decided to ban Lindell due to “repeated violations” of its civic integrity policy.

Lindell, a Trump supporter, has continued to insist that the presidential election was rigged even after U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration had begun.

Trump has also had his account permanently suspended by Twitter. The former president posted on Truth Social, his own platform, on Thursday. He had not made any appearance on the platform, save for one quick post before the platform was opened to the public in late February. He has said that he has no intention of rejoining Twitter even if his account is reinstated following Elon Musk’s agreement to buy the social media giant for roughly $44 billion.

While it remains to be seen if Musk will reinstate accounts that are banned on Twitter, the Tesla CEO calls himself a free speech absolutist who believes in allowing any content that doesn’t run afoul of the law.

Search: “2000 Mules” — a very significant expose on the ‘2020 ‘election’.

The Pillow Guy’s website is devoted to fiction about the 2020 election, anti vax stories and similar conspiracy theories as well as advertising for his overpriced pillows,
Lindell knew that he was banned from Twitter and foolishly tried to evade the ban by registering with a slightly different name.

  1. President Trump did NOT win the 2020 election. The senile joker did.
  2. The cooks who believe that Trump won should not be silenced. Just ignored.
  3. Twitter is a private entity. They don’t owe anybody to provide them with the platform and shouldn’t be forced to do so.

What kind of pillows does Musk have on his SpaceX vehicles? Let’s make a deal: Musk removes the ban from Lindell, and Lindell supplies free MyPillow pillows and sheets to Musk’s SpaceX vehicles. And then Musk reciprocates further by inviting Lindell for a free ride on a Spacex, and then Lindell reciprocates furtherby manufacturing free MyPillow headrests for Musk’s Tesla vehicles.And they keep trading back and forth their services and products for free. It’s a win-win situation for both of them.
