David Hogg drops pillow venture launched during spat with Mike Lindell
Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg says he’s giving up his role in the pillow company he launched to compete with conservative MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell — and going back to activism.
Hogg, 20, announced on Twitter Saturday “resigned and released all shares, any ownership and any control of Good Pillow LLC” effective immediately.
“The reasons for my departure rests entirely with me and my own personal commitments and I truly wish (co-founder William LeGate) nothing but the best,” he wrote.
“Over the next several months, I will be taking some time to focus on my studies in college and advance the gun violence prevention movement with March For Our Lives and personally.”
In his tweets Saturday, the Harvard University student said he realized he couldn’t devote “100%” to his pillow company because of other commitments, including school, family and his activism.
“The reasons for my departure rest entirely with me and my own personal commitments and I truly wish Will nothing but the best,” he wrote.
He said he would leave it up to LeGate to fulfill their vision of building “an ethical company that produces products that people need while creating good union paying jobs and supporting social causes at the same time.”
Except, shortly after he got into this pillow thing he left the board of March For Our Lives because they were pissed he was using his association with the organization for personal gain with this pillow company.
So now he has no company and no position at March For Our Lives.
It’s fun to watch Hogg burn through all of his relationships and fame and come out the other side with nothing but a loud-mouth Twitter account.
How is a kid who allegedly wasn’t in the building still a “survivor” and still a thing?
How dare you question his (un-)lived experience by introducing brute facts?!?!?! Daffy Pigg is a True Hero of the New Generation of Activists, and his credentials are not to be challenged!

His rather obnoxious personality is becoming publicly apparent. Now that his child prophet days are behind him, and as Parkland fades into the past, there’s not much else for him to do, really. And unless he lands a sugar momma/daddy at Harvard, his “activist” career or potential media position isn’t going to happen.
He’s a D-Lister, and will always be a D-Lister. It’s the activist version of the minor fame from a tv show.
