The European Space Agency claimed that Musk's company was blocking out competitors in space, but Musk said there was room for tens of billions of satellites.
In an interview with The Financial Times, the CEO likened the number of satellites to having two billion cars and trucks on Earth.
Musk told the FT that the space station would have room for tens of billions of satellites.
A couple of thousand satellites is nothing. He said that there were a couple of thousand cars on Earth.
The European Space Agency's director general told the Financial Times in December that Musk was making the rules in space.
Aschbacher previously told the Financial Times that Starlink was taking over and could prevent European satellite companies from competing in the commercial space industry.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Musk said that space is enormous and that satellites are tiny.
"This is not a situation where we are effectively blocking others," Musk said. We don't expect anyone to do anything.
Over 1,700 Starlink satellites have been launched into space by the company, although Musk has said he wants to have 42,000 satellites in space.
