Narrative:
Tower cleared aircraft into position and hold on runway 33. First officer and I both heard him clear aircraft X to taxi into position. First officer acknowledged 'position and hold runway 33 aircraft X.' after initiating our taxi into position, aircraft on other side of runway questioned the tower as to who was cleared. After tower advised that the business jet was the one cleared, we did a 180 degree and exited the runway. There were no further conflicts. First officer explained to the tower that both aircraft probably acknowledged the clearance at the same time. Tower controller replied no problem. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter said that there was no hazard since the other aircraft never moved. The two aircraft were on opposite sides of the runway at the same taxiway and were the only traffic on the airport.
