Then how do you explain the massive drop in short interest in the graph in the sec report? Short interest can’t drop without shorts covering…

There are many ways of hiding short positions like with ETFs. Look at the XRT (an ETF holding GME).
So you are saying the SEC report is wrong about the short interest?
I didn't say that. I'm saying there are many ways of hiding short positions.
XRT has been highly shorted for well over a decade because pretty much all of the stocks in it are failing brick and mortars, including gamestop. What does that have to do with GameStop’s short position?
