MyPillow CEO Sneaks Back Onto Twitter And Immediately Gets Banned Again

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell made a new Twitter account over the weekend and posted a video touting his return to the platform. He had received a lifetime ban from the platform last year, and assumed that he could outsmart the tech giant by using his real name to create a new account. That lasted a hot minute before he got banned again, and Farron Cousins explains what happened.

So over the weekend, MyPillow CEO, Mike Lindell decided, Hey, now's a good time. Now that Elon Musks is going to be buying the platform. Maybe I can just sneak back on Twitter after he was permanently banned in January of 2021. And so he created a new account, uh, MikeJLindell. So he used his real name and of course he posted a video about being back. And this is what the video said. He said, hello, everyone at Twitter. This is Mike Linde. I'm here to tell you about my new account here at Mike J Linde. That's the only account over here at Twitter that I'm using. So we started this, please share it with everybody. You know, let everybody, you know, uh, let everybody, you know, so we can get the word out over here at Twitter in case they take it down and take it down.

They did the account lasted a little under three and a half hours, but still somehow managed to gain 39,000 followers before once again, being shut down for violating terms of service, because you're a band user, you don't just get to go create a new account and you really probably shouldn't advertise that it is you, the band individual that made the account, and you also made the account, your name. It's not like Twitter. Wasn't gonna find you. It's almost as if you did this as some kind of big publicity stunt, which of course is exactly what this was. Lindell knew that he was gonna be taken down. And so he wanted that publicity. He wanted to be able to go out there and say, look, I'm being banned again, even though Musk's gotta be taking over. So later in the day, of course, he goes out there and he, once again, this is what he said, this is what he told the daily beast. Uh, we need to melt down the voting machines and turn them into prison bars. He then said that, uh, Jack Dorsey, you know, the co-founder of Twitter, former CEO, uh, should be first in line for prison for prison. So we're gonna go confiscate the voting machines, take all the plastic parts out, uh, just get the metal, melt it down, make prison bars out of the voting machines and then throw Jack Dorsey in prison.

For what, for, for banning your Twitter account, that that's not illegal. Um, not exactly sure. What other crimes you may think that Jack Dorsey committed. Uh, you may not like him. You may love him. I don't care personally. Uh, but Jack Dorsey is, is not a, not a criminal. So not exactly sure what you're getting at there, Mike Linde. But of course, as we all know, Linde is not the only conservative that thinks Elon Musk is going to bring free speech back to Twitter. Something that by the way, does in fact exist. However,

Twitter as a private corporation is under no legal obligations to actually provide you with free speech. And that's where conservatives continue to get it wrong because they're just, oh, so very stupid. A private corporation does not have to grant you the right of free speech. Only the federal government has to grant you the right of free speech. That's what the constitution says. Who tells you otherwise is too stupid to even be able to read the constitution. But Roger Stone, who has also been banned from Twitter, decided to create an account recently too, after the Musk, uh, uh, takeover, which again, hasn't even taken place. It's supposed to take like six months for him to get back on there, uh, as the owner of it, and then take the company, private, a whole lot of legal things that have to happen in the interim. And in fact, the deal could still fall through not even finalized yet, but either way.

Roger Stone also went and created an account after I think six hours, his account was taken back down because your band and you, people are idiots and you just want the publicity, but I gotta ask y'all. I mean, Mike, andele you personally, why would you even want back on Twitter? Your suspension from Twitter or banning from Twitter is what led you to create Frank speech? Like you literally created your own outlet. Is it really that pathetic that you have to try to sneak back on Twitter and then announce that you snuck back on Twitter? Same thing with you, Roger Stone. I mean, can't you go to truth social.
