Hal has long been the #1 suspect to have been Satoshi.
I've even heard a compelling case that it's Elon Musk.

Musk can’t code. He’s an actor. And a good one. A bag of shit is less full of shit than he is. IMO.
It's worth the thought experiment.
Energy. Storage of energy. Peer to peer payments. Etc.
"Musk wrote the software for his first companies, Zip2 & X.com, which literally specialized in peer-to-peer payments.
X.com’s source code was written in C++ and described as monolithic & So was Bitcoin’s.”
Satoshi’s use of ‘bloody hard’ and ‘order of magnitude’ were hallmark Musk expressions. Satoshi wrote with double spaces after a period. So did Musk."
I don’t think we’ll ever know but that won’t stop us talking about it 💯
