It’s possible that when he said that, the short percentage was not greater than 100% of the floating shares, as they are now.

It seems like he was investing for the long haul, because of the stock and the company’s fundamentals.

But, the phenomenon now is the short squeeze, because of the excessive shorts over the available floating shares.

I believe he has a youtube video from 6 months ago titled something like "> 100% short interest, short squeeze possible".
