Currently, person with highest amount of bitcoin in the world is Satoshi Nakamoto and he is the 12th richest man in the world. Can his number one spot be taken by some other person anytime soon ? Who can be that person to replace Satoshi ? Elon Musk ?

Do not mention Elon Musk because Elon has already dropped in ranking while Satoshi climbed to the 11th position, taking over Michael Dell, the CEO of Dell Technologies. However, Satoshi would keep climbing high as long as BTC keeps appreciating in value over time, and believe me, the space at which Satoshi would become the world's richest man would happen just within the twinkling of an eye without any competition or a contender, all courtesy of Bitcoin.

I don't think anyone will have more Bitcoin than Satoshi Nakamoto since he is the owner, Elon Musk is only an investor in Bitcoin, do you think that someone that has created wealth like Bitcoin for the universe will easily be surpass by one of his holder, being rich and creating wealth are two different things entirely because I see the wealth creator as the richest and can't be surpass because that ideology is always there to create more wealth for himself .

As far as I know, almost no individual has accumulated a significant amount of Bitcoin, and it seems impossible for anyone to hold more Bitcoin than Satoshi. Blackrock and MicroStrategy currently hold vast Bitcoin reserves, even approaching Satoshi's, but they are companies, not individuals. It's unlikely Elon Musk himself would try to hold as much Bitcoin as Satoshi. He would have to sell a significant portion of his holdings, which is nearly impossible. If he did, it would make headlines, and if his wallet became public, people would start looking for other wallets that have transacted with Elon Musk's wallet. The most plausible possibility is that Musk may have become one of the current whales.

There has been no record of a single individual who owns bitcoin in large volume except for Satoshi, the founder of Bitcoin, and only organisations that own large volumes, but according to the river.com website, the Winklevoss twins own ~70,000 BTC, which they had bought very early when the price was still low. As for Elon Musk, no one can tell if he owns bitcoin in large volume, as he has never come up publicly to talk about any large volume bitcoin ownership. But I believe there are people still secretly stashing bitcoins in different wallets as they do not want to call attention to themselves, but with time, things will reveal themselves.
