Who's more elite Delta Force or the Navy SEAL's?
First off, how people define "Delta Force", and "Navy SEAL's" are quite different. There are two primary entities of the "Special Forces" community within the U.S. Those entities are "SOCOM" - Special Operations Command, and "JSOC" - Joint Special Operations Command. JSOC units are inherently prioritised, or in your words "more elite", than those of SOCOM. The official name for what you're referring as "Delta Force" is Army Compartmented Elements, which is part of SOCOM. What we refer to as the Navy SEAL's are also part of SOCOM, thus neither are "prioritised". However, both the SEAL's and ACE, have a specified unit who is part of JSOC. The units we refer to as "SEAL Team 6" or "DEVGRU" are part of JSOC, as well as the unit we refer to as "1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta". So, based on that, one should be able to tell that they're equivalent. 1SFOD-D, specializes in Counter-Terrorism. DEVGRU, specializes in Unconventional Warfare.
How many troops went on the Osama bin Laden mission?
A group of 20-25 Navy SEALs under the direction of the CIA were in the mission of killing Osama bin Laden. The Navy SEALs are a part of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).
How can you get in it Joint Special Operations Command?
It depends on what type of position you are talking about. If you are asking about an operational position, you would need to spend time as either a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger or Special Forces, or Air Force Special Operations, before being chosen to join one of these branches' Tier One units, such as US Army Delta or US Air Force 24th Special Tactics Squadron. However, not everyone within JSOC is an operator. They also have a lot of support personnel, who help gather and analyze intelligence to assist the guys in the field. That is another way to be a part of JSOC, if you can't be in an operational position.

Was JSOC involved in killing Osama bin Laden on 1 May 2011?
The 40-minute fire fight that resulted in bin Laden's death was announced on May 1, 2011. It is reported that he was killed by a group of 20-25 Navy SEALs under the direction of the CIA. The Navy SEALs are a part of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), so yes, JSOC was involved in Osama's killing. The troops arrived in two helicopters. Four men, including Osama, as well as one woman died in the attack. No American was wounded or killed. Osama bin Laden was killed in the last five to 10 minutes of the siege. One of his wives identified his body. Osama was twice in the head. The US took custody of his body and buried it at sea shortly after (it is Islamic tradition to bury a body within 24 hours). President Obama ordered the attack on Friday, April 29. The US first received intelligence of bin Laden's location in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan in August 2010 and confirmed the location over a few months. Bin Laden was the mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and has been in hiding for nearly a decade.
