Is Magnus Carlsen still best in the world?
Sort:
The answer is... although he is not The World Champion, he still has the highest elo than anyone else in the world in classical chess. He still shows levels of skill and knowledge above his other GM counterparts. So even though he doesn't hold the championship, he is still the best in the world. At least for now.
Magnus is Goat
Best buy
The Magster is the grand exalted all powerful ruler of the chess universe. So umm... yes.

That's probably true. BUT, he's beaten the person who beat the person who beat the person who beat the person who beat the person who beat you. So there's that.
No Magnus Carlsen not the best Chess player in the world that would go to Ding Liren

The World Chess Championship

So Ding Liren became the best player in the world by beating Nepo in a rapid game? I don’t think World Champion equals best player in the world, it’s just one event with two players and often not the two best players, as this time.
The World Champion and the Best in the World are two different things and may well be different persons.
Well if you want to be the best in the world you have to show your commitment to the game and clearly Carlsen is 100% capable of defeating Ding or Nepo in the World Championship but he doesn't want to play in the WCC so in my opinion I think Ding is the worlds best Chess player as of now.

Says who? You can be the best and give the world the middle finger.
