Typically you want to buy low and sell high right. Shorting is buying high and selling back in low. Sort of, not really. But thats the idea. Youre investing, betting the price with crash. Creating a selling pressure driving the price down.

With enough money they can short a company into bankruptcy. Like sears and what they got caught doing with gamestop.
