I just got done reading
https://isthesqueezesquoze.com/
Short interest is expressed as a percentage of a stock's "float", or shares readily available for trade.

Would a "short ladder" among the afflicted funds, them ping-ponging the shares back and forth to each other at progressively lower price points, inflate the value of the float, making the denominator of SI/float larger and thus the percentage SI figure smaller?
Could this explain the drastic drop in GME short interest today from 140% to 50%, despite the price still being nowhere near historical average?

Answer : no one can read the future. You're on your own if you have money in this.

I heard the 50% figure is a fake number that was skewed on purpose because they changed the algorithm for calculating the shorts. Just a rumor so I can't confirm. Big if true, they are pushing the FUD hard if this is the case.

>it’s not about the money
This works great when it’s your own personal philosophy. When it’s in the hands of millions, some of them are going to be there just for the money
