MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said Monday that he believes he will lose up to $65 million this year over retailers boycotting his business after he repeatedly made unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 presidential election being stolen from former President Trump.
Lindell made his projection in an interview pushing back on claims that his support of Trump is helping him to sell his pillows.
"I lost 20 retailers, and it's cost me $65 million this year that I won't get back, OK?" Lindell told Business Insider. "There's your story. Print it right. Don't try and twist this."
Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Lindell on Monday for his repeated unfounded accusations that the company was involved in "stealing millions of votes" from Trump.

(9,961 posts)... not a very good businessman. Still, there will be enough radical Trump fans to keep a roof over his head while he cries on his pillow.
