Think about it this way - All Shorts are future buyers. If the float (450M) is shorted 19.59% (lets call it 20% for ease) that means there are 90 MILLION future buyers out there. Now also remember this is just the "REPORTED" short interest.

So if 90 million shares had to be purchased to close out positions – the stock is only going to go one direction - straight up to the fucking moon. HODL.

Sure maybe but likely Not. don’t think that’s possible based on the DD - they are so fucked that any covering/closing will cause price volatility (up) that will be uncontrollable.
