Correct me if I am wrong but Citron is basically hedging their bets that the price of gamestop will fall dramatically and go bankrupt. They short-sold, so they will by Gamestop shares at whatever price it is at in the future (they want them to fail). WSB, realizing this, is artifically pumping up gamestop to the point where Citron will have to buy a crap ton of super expensive shares making the reddit people very rich in the process. So it's a battle of who is more influential at manipulating the market. Tons of people are very pissed off about it and it's really funny

When you sell a stock short, and it goes to $0, you make a profit of 100%. When you sell a stock short but it goes higher, your losses are potentially infinite
You can still make money yoloing on GME, lol. I think it has room to go up, the big squeeze hasn't happened. But if you didn't get in during the summer when it was like 5 or 8 per share it's not like you'll be able to turn a grand into a house down payment like some of the people on wsb were able to. I wouldn't be suprised to see $100 or more per share next week. Don't take random internet people's advice and actually read up on GME and short squeeze for yourself along with the greeks to make your own decision.
wsb seems cool when you read about the people starting with a random $500 bonus and turning it into a million over a year or two, but it's also full of people that squandered fortunes. It is literally gambling.
