MINNESOTA — Mike Lindell, CEO of Minnesota-based MyPillow Inc., was quickly banned from Twitter on Sunday after attempting to rejoin the social media platform following a previous suspension in 2021.

Lindell created the new account under the name @MikeJLindell after his account and that of his company were suspended last year in the wake of Lindell spreading conspiracy theories about presidential voter fraud and incorrectly claiming Donald Trump won the 2020 election.

Lindell’s new account was suspended permanently because it violated Twitter’s rules regarding ban evasion, according to the Associated Press.
