Mike Lindell was re-banned from Twitter 3 hours after returning to the platform since his initial ban in 2021
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was banned from Twitter on Sunday hours after making a return to the platform.
Lindell, a supporter of former President Donald Trump, was banned from Twitter in January 2021 for spreading misinformation about the 2020 election.
On Sunday afternoon, he posted to a new account announcing his return.
"Hello everybody, I'M BACK ON TWITTER. My only account is @MikeJLindell! Please RT and FOLLOW to SPREAD THE WORD," Lindell said in a tweet, Insider's Bethany Biron reported.
The tweet also featured a video of Lindell confirming the account was in fact his.
"All those other ones are fake accounts and they've been using my name out there, so we started this account," he said. "Please share with everybody you know, let everybody you know, so we can get the word out at Twitter in case they do take it down. Thanks a lot for helping out."
About three and a half hours later, the account was suspended.
A Twitter spokesperson told Insider the account was permanently suspended for violating the platform's rules on ban evasion.
Twitter's ban evasion policy prohibits anyone from trying to evade a previous ban, including by creating a new account.
What a moron.
