Did I miss this on DU? - David Hogg launching pillow company to 'put MyPillow out of business'

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/david-hogg-launching-pillow-company-put-mypillow-out-business-n1256817

Parkland school shooting survivor and gun control advocate David Hogg plans to launch his own pillow company with the goal of competing against embattled bedding company MyPillow.

The idea was posed to Hogg, 20, in a tweet from entrepreneur William LeGate on Thursday that questioned whether the duo should start a pillow company to “put MyPillow out of business."

The CEO and founder of MyPillow, Mike Lindell, is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and has repeatedly promoted false claims of fraud about the 2020 presidential election.

"Mike the 'my pillow guy' ... This pillow fight just got very real," Hogg tweeted on Thursday.

Yes, with 3 exclamation points.

Wondering if ACE Hardware is owned and/or CEO'd by an asswipe, like Menards, or if it's just this fuckhead franchisee.

... try to market a pillow filled with corn kernels.

Super-cheap idea, but I'd get testimonials from phony experts to say it's the best for sound sleep and good health.

Maybe have an American flag as the pillow cover, but the dyes might cut into my profit... so maybe not.

Oh, and pretend like Lindell that I put years of research and effort into it.

Edit: Almost forgot... emphasis would also be placed on how all of the corn was grown locally.
