Ok but is short interest actually investors holding short or MM? When you purchase a stock from a MM it’s reported as “short” volume because the MM sells you the shares instantly that they don’t have and buy them from another person somewhere else to collect the spread or rebate. So could short interest here be MM looking for sellers and are holding short because they unloaded to a bunch of retail investors?

Holy fuck that’s wild. I didn’t realize that’s how it worked.
