This is what shorting is anon.
With a margin account, brokers will let you sell things that you don’t own as long as you have an amount of capital/collateral (shares of stock or ITM options or something) on hand that’s is calculated with a formula and is different stock to stock depending on risk that the broker decides upon.
This is the formula IBKR uses (my broker) to calculate margin requirements for selling naked calls.
