The funny thing is if they do short it heavily, the big players will pump the stock. They literally can't lose.
WSB incels are essentially immune to a failed short.
Yeah, shorting theoristically has no ceiling on potential loss, but most of these retail kids don't have enough assets for a squeeze to really do anything.
Owing somebody a thousand dollars and owing someone a billion dollars are the same thing for them.
