MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, seen outside the White House on Jan. 15, is one of the most high-profile voices still claiming the election was stolen from former President Trump.

Twitter banned MyPillow's company account on Monday after founder Mike Lindell commandeered it to post several missives targeting Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, a week after Lindell himself was permanently banned from the platform.

An archived version of the Chaska-based company's Twitter page shows several posts attacking Dorsey that appear to be written by Lindell, in a stark departure from previous tweets promoting beach towels and bath mats.

In one post Monday afternoon, MyPillow's account tweeted: "Jack Dorsey is trying to cancel me [Mike Lindell] out! We are extremely busy and hiring as fast as we can to handle all the shipping! Jack will be found out and should be put in prison when all is revealed!"
