Once again, for the knuckleheads. Danish Donut is still clueless or just blatantly lying to people.

You literally have it exactly backwards. LOL. The PUMPING is going on to help Yorkville sell their shares!!! Any legit short seller wants a higher price to short from, not a lower one. Duh.

What you, and that clown don't know is that Yorkville just got 17.7 million shares in the recent offering. They are 100% the seller IMO.
MM's short on the desk for incoming certificates from a seller like Yorkville that has the certs to cover the shorts. They are temporary short sales to facilitate the sell order from the client. (in this case, most likely Yorkville)
They are not short sales done as a long term trade or position.
To be more clear, if client tells a market maker " I have 4 million shares to sell" , the MM can then short on the desk, knowing the certs are coming in to cover them, and then they reflect a flat trade on their books when the certs come in .
You , or Andrew have never worked on a trade desk (which is obvious) and don't know how any of this works.
To confirm my theory, just look at the outstanding share count as it increases almost DAILY...
Just follow Grey Ghost's share count that he posts often or follow the link below.
Short sellers CAN NOT increase outstanding shares, ONLY the company can.

Understanding Market Makers and Short Selling
Role of Market Makers
Market makers are financial entities that provide liquidity in the market by continuously offering to buy and sell securities. They play a crucial role in ensuring that there are always buyers and sellers available, which helps stabilize prices and reduce volatility.

Short Selling by Market Makers
Market makers can engage in short selling to facilitate incoming sell orders. Here’s how they do it:

Facilitating Orders: When a market maker receives a sell order, they may not have the corresponding buy orders to match it immediately. To maintain liquidity, they can short sell the stock.
Borrowing Shares: To execute a short sale, the market maker borrows shares from another party, typically from their own inventory or from clients' margin accounts. This allows them to sell the stock they do not own.
Executing the Sale: The market maker sells the borrowed shares on the open market, fulfilling the sell order. This action helps to keep the market moving and ensures that trades can be executed without delay.
Covering the Short: Later, the market maker will buy back the shares at the market price to return them to the lender. If the price has dropped, they profit from the difference. If the price has risen, they incur a loss.
Importance of Market Makers in Short Selling
Market makers help maintain market stability by providing liquidity, especially during times of high volatility. Their ability to short sell allows them to manage imbalances in buy and sell orders effectively, ensuring that the market operates smoothly.
