* MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell told Insider he had to borrow $10 million in 2022 to keep MyPillow afloat.
* Lindell said he'd also sold a building for $2 million and borrowed a further $2 million for himself.
* Lindell says he's burning through $1 million dollars every month on causes related to voter fraud.
* Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, says he had to borrow $10 million in 2022 just to keep his pillow company afloat.
Speaking to Insider on Wednesday night, Lindell said that to keep MyPillow going, he borrowed "about 4 million in May, 2 million in the summer, and 4 million in September."
And on top of that, Lindell said he's personally been borrowing money to stay liquid, too.
"I sold a building I had in Savage, in Minnesota, in October," Lindell told Insider. "And I had to borrow 2 million too. I've spent it all on fighting for this country."
Lindell told Insider that some creature comforts — like his private jet, which had a door come off it in October — haven't been sold yet.
"I have to get around, you know," Lindell said.
Lindell declined to reveal who loaned him the money but told Insider that a majority of the borrowed cash had gone to defending MyPillow against the lawsuits filed against the company. One of the major ongoing lawsuits is a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems, which cites both MyPillow and its owner, Lindell, in the case.

You said it, and I am shocked at the cynicism and hate directed at a guy trying to help straighten out the corrupt election system. He proved his point, the machines are fixed. He is a hero in my eyes.
It isn’t smart to turn off people if you are a businessman. The goal is to make lots of money by selling your product to everyone.
Those companies that go woke also deserve to go bankrupt. Dumb move to limit the number of potiential who would want to buy their product.
“You should never mix business and politics.”
agreed, and it goes both ways*
there are a long list of ‘woke’ companies which are going broke
* (unless you are a bank)
This is dreadful advice.
I agree. Perhaps we can set up a My Pillow Fund. $100 a person might help him or whatever one can spare. .
I bet if Mike had just given Joe just 10% of what he has spent trying to give us fair elections, he would be stashing billions away now.
I can see 0’Biden telling Austin and Milley to order new pillows and sheets for every barracks bed and every ship bunk in the entire military from Lindell after receiving a nice suitcase full of cash from ‘The My Pillow Guy”.
Exactly. Great point.

Think about it for a moment. A successful business generates a lot of money. That money can be used to quietly support all sorts of good causes, over and over again.
But when your deliberately associate your business with a specific political cause, you instantly lose half your customer base. Half of your profits are gone, as is half of your ability to do good.
As I noted earlier, I admire Mike Lindell. His heart is in the right place. But he was not thinking strategically. He is, unfortunately, the conservative analogy to “get woke, go broke”.
So, yeah. A bit of stealth would have been most helpful here.
yes, indeed. we had a recent purchase, and we can certainly use something else from MyPillow, with this coming out.
RE: involved in politics so get hurt....
Problem was they were targeting him all along anyway.
When talk radio was boycotted by all major woke corporations he was one of the handful to keep them afloat with ads.
I remember Savage, Laura Ingraham and others who could have gone off the air if they didn’t have MyPillow and those beet powder ads. A shame big advertisers tried to silence Rush and them.
If you lay with pigs, you are going to smell like…
Mike has a good heart and good intentions. Beyond that he is quite the loose cannon and dipping his feet too far into the lake. He was successful with my pillow (his sheets are scratchy and wrinkle), a lot of peoplce can support Trump, but he is no philosophical or political guru.

It is too bad that people can’t make their purchase decisions based upon the quality of the product. I bet the 2.0 pillow is an incredible product that has revolutionized the comfort of a pillow. People should not let their ideological biases blind them from the best.
He’s made himself into a fool. He made all these promises about the election, then didn’t fall through.
There are alot people who make their product buying decisions based on politics these days on both sides. They do not consider quality like you said. Just read this forum.
For me I buy what I can afford, which isn’t alot. I try to make the best decision.
I really don’t like the politization of everything. If you are 100% for this, then you are bad. It makes people less focused on what they are good at and the product or what they do is not as good as before.
D.B. Cooper is in the market for one.
Has Trump spent $.01 to fight voter fraud?
He’s sacrificing everything for what he believes. That’s admirable.
