The Starlink satellite internet project is not taking up too much space.
He told the Financial Times that billions of satellites can be accommodated in close proximity to Earth.
The head of the European Space Agency claimed that Mr Musk was making the rules for the emerging commercial space industry.
China complained that its space station was forced to avoid colliding with satellites.
Mr Musk said in the interview that space and satellites are very small.
Mr Musk said that there is plenty of room in the Earth's orbit for satellites, and that his Starlink Internet Services project was not obstructing the entry of competitors to the satellite industry.

Mr Musk has suggested that larger distances are needed between the two spaceships.
Scientists have previously voiced concerns about the risks of collision in space and called on world governments to share information about the estimated 30,000 satellites and other space debris that are on Earth.
Mr Musk faced a backlash on social media after China complained that its space station was forced to avoid colliding with satellites launched by his Starlink project.
Beijing claimed that the country's space station had two close encounters with Starlink satellites.
China submitted a document to the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs this month detailing two incidents that took place in July and October.

The UN's space agency has not yet verified the incidents behind the complaints.
