Fans of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell on the chat app Telegram were confused on Friday as his new social media network failed to come online.

In a video posted to a placeholder website this month, the Donald Trump-supporting businessman said people seeking early entry could submit their cell phone numbers to get VIP access to the platform that would start "Thursday night at midnight."

As the hours passed and Thursday turned to Friday morning, some Telegram followers of Lindell's verified Telegram channel were left puzzled.

"I expected a VIP launch midnight Thursday but nothing. What's up?" one user wrote. Another person said: "It seems the site did not go live the way it was supposed to. Not sure what the issue is but it is a huge letdown that's for sure. After all the hype."

Broadly, there was a sense of deflation. As a third user wrote on Friday morning: "No communication, no text....no one knows what is going on. Doesn't feel good."

6. Maybe all those voices in his head convinced Lindell it was already "up and running"

7. Awww too bad

So many of them all primed with their first post all ready to go! Some great hilarious insults to own the Libs they had crafted.

8. Someone used a naughty word and it crashed the platform

9. The folks Lindell paid to set up the site probably absconded with his funds.

Every con game has a sting moment.

10. "submit their cell phone numbers"

I guess that's the next best thing to grifting actual cash from the marks. He'll get the income garnered from selling that "pre-selected" list. Remember, if you get anything "for free," it was you who was sold.

11. Four words into the OP you had already said all that needed saying.
