Well so some stocks are obviously bad, it's not an strong-form efficient stock market for eg Nikola because turns out shorting small stocks can go terribly wrong. It's up to the people who actually own shares to sell them, or forfeit them, like this is worth nothing I'll put it on the exchange for a cent. And in fact on the other hand that is what naked shorting is, only without actually owning a share, identical to casting a ballot you didn't receive, like same as an immigrant or tourist voting without legitimacy, or a dead man's vote.
