Michael J Lindell is an American businessman. He is the founder and CEO of My Pillow, Inc. with a net worth of almost USD $300 million. He has been an ardent supporter of Donald Trump and has been vocal about the same on his Twitter account, which had a following of nearly half a million.
Lindell has also financed past rallies and protest against the Biden Administration’s win and has supported the claims for voter fraud by Trump, even though the same has been overturned by multiple US courts.
Lindell repeatedly violated the company’s civic integrity policy, due to which he was suspended, a Twitter spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Reuters. Twitter had permanently suspended Trump from its platform earlier this month.
Lindell’s support and political commentary have been used by the conservative media regularly as an endorsement.
