There are exactly 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364140 public keys, as per the definition of the curve.

There are therefore 2**256 - 0x14551231950b75fc4402da1732fc9bec0 keys, and while the second number seems large, it's insignificantly small compared to the full keyspace.
