This has nothing to do with MM's.

I asked ChatGPT whether Citadel is a HF or a MM (see answer below): The problem for us/advantage to them is that they are both! A HF, with MM “status”… which allows for regulatory wiggle room, for them, when they “trade”.

Anyway, from ChatGPT: “Citadel is a financial institution that operates as both a hedge fund and a market maker.

1. **Hedge Fund**: Citadel manages hedge funds, which are investment funds that pool capital from investors and use various strategies to generate returns. Citadel's hedge funds engage in a range of investment activities, including equities, fixed income, commodities, and more.

2. **Market Maker**: Citadel is also known for its market-making operations. As a market maker, it participates in financial markets by facilitating the buying and selling of financial instruments like stocks, options, and other securities. Market makers help provide liquidity to markets and play a crucial role in ensuring that buyers and sellers can transact efficiently.

Citadel's business model includes both of these aspects, and the company is one of the prominent players in the financial industry, with operations in various sectors of finance and investment.”

Hmmm. Not your typical MM, just providing liquidity to the market.

Gary, that’s exactly right. MMs and traders will often go both long and short in a stock. A fairly common practice. So the question is how many of the short shares are open positions without corresponding long shares to cover? It’s called a covered straddle to be both long and short in a stock in order to play the spread.

The naked short narrative is old and unproven.
