So is there anyway to know what the current short position is? Melvin publicly states last Tuesday they have closed out their short position
Which means nothing. They could have had 100 positions and just opened one more with 1 shorted share and then closed that single one...and then came out with "we have closed our position".
Putting it out on national TV also makes no sense. Why would you tell everyone on TV? What's the point? The investors in Melvin don't need TV for this info and no one else cares.
But it makes a lot of sense if you want to convey the impression to WSB that "Haha, you won, gg...now go and be nice and sell all your shares and move on (so that we can really cover all our positions)"
They have not made their short position(s) public.

Since they are pulling money left and right out of their longs...no, they haven't covered, yet.
Also think of the new FUD they have placed in the media yesterday: "if this goes on it will destroy the market!"
Think about it: If they have, as they claim, covered their short position already: where exactly is the threat to the market, hm?
