i can just imagine the panic all those short sellers are feeling right now

They're buying put options as we speak. The GameStop price, artificially elevated, will fall harder and faster than it would have before. They will make more money than before.

Yeah the short play is just going to get better. Someone is going to sell a chunk at some point and there will be a stampede.

FTR: I have no money in this. I don't day trade and I don't short.

Right now they are having to liquidate other holdings to cover short positions which is dragging down other stocks, they may make money eventually, but definitely feeling the pain right now.
