– Michael Burry debunks a recent X claim of 700% short interest in GameStop ($GME) as a misreading of short sale volume data, explaining it reflects routine market maker facilitation for liquidity, not directional betting or fraud.

– Aggregating daily short sales over periods creates misleading flow metrics—shares can trade hands multiple times—ignoring buy-side activity; Burry notes this echoes errors in interpreting FINRA short volume reports, which track transactions, not net positions.

– Drawing from his January 2026 Substack post “Final Stop GameStop: The Jig is Up,” Burry highlights operational shorting’s temporary “phantom shares” for ETF settlements, a neutral process affecting all equities, and urges readers to review it for context on persistent meme stock narratives.
