MyPillow CEO and pro-Trump conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell reportedly spent almost $1 million to launch his “FrankSpeech” social media platform — a launch that was riddled with glitches and website errors, Newsweek reports.
Leaked screenshots obtained by Newsweek show Lindell spent over $936,000 on equipment charges, hourly fees and other costs tied to the development of the website.
