In short: yes. In long: not the ordinary short interest figure itself is a lie. It’s based on the reported shares being officially sold short on the ticker. But here is where i say that there are several market mechanics which allow participants like hedge funds and market makers to hold a short position without it appearing as part of the officially reported SI. Like ETF shorts, derivative shenanigans, basket swaps, naked shorts (for MMs). There are literally a dozen DD posts on any of the things I just mentioned in the SS sub.

Well, reported short interest dwarfed for sure. Short interest has been moved into other vehicles. ETF shorts. Derivatives. You know about the 30k 0.5p contracts that were created for January 22 and are now starting to appear again for January 23? Just one of the many ways the real SI is hidden… The SEC report very specifically said that the „squeeze“ was NOT driven by shorts covering or closing. Then the infamous buy button event happened and the official SI magically declined. During a drop of 350 to 40$? Mkay. Sounds legit.

So you think the shorts closed? Even though the sec report states otherwise?

You clearly don’t get what this commentor is asking for lol. He will probably order S, but he wants the package to say XXL.
