In January 2021 MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was banned from Twitter for spreading misinformation about the 2020 election.

Sunday afternoon he made his return to the social media platform, only to get banned again less than four hours later.

According to Business Insider, Lindell annouced his return with this tweet:

“Hello everybody, I’M BACK ON TWITTER. My only account is @MikeJLindell! Please RT and FOLLOW to SPREAD THE WORD”.

The tweet was complete with a video to confirm 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.

Business Insider reports that a Twitter spokesperson said the account was permanently suspended for violating the platform’s rules on ban evasion.

“We need to melt down the voting machines and turn them into prison bars,” Lindell said, referencing his efforts to have voting machines blocked from use in US elections. “Jack Dorsey should be first in line for prison!”

Jack Dorsey is Twitter’s co-founder and former CEO.  He’s still on the company’s board of directors but announced back in November he will step down when his term ends in late May.

Lindell said he decided to rejoin Twitter to combat the many fake accounts pretending to be him.

“I put up the Twitter account today to let the public know that none of the fake Mike Lindell accounts on Twitter are mine,” Lindell said.

Elon Musk is set to buy Twitter in a $44 billion deal, Twitter announced Monday.

“I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on Truth,” Trump told Fox News, referring to his own social-media platform, Truth Social.
