Musk said his company would be able to coexist with many others because of the amount of space they are taking up.
Musk has shaken up the space industry by founding a private rocket company that is also seeking to become a major telecommunications entity through a network of tens of thousands of low-orbiting satellites.
The focus of calls for regulation of space has been made by the recent launch of 52 satellites by the company.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Musk denied that his company was dominating radio frequencies.
Musk said that space and satellites are very small. This is not a situation where we are effectively blocking others. We don't expect anyone to be blocked from doing anything.
The head of the European Space Agency said earlier this month that Musk was making the rules in space. The EU and other countries should coordinate their actions to make sure that other countries and companies don't have to worry about launching their own satellites.
There was room for tens of billions of satellites, according to Musk, who compared the number of satellites with the vehicles on the Earth's surface. An astronomer disagrees with the claim that satellites need large gaps to be able to avoid crashes.
China publicly accused the US of ignoring international treaty obligations after two near misses between the Chinese space station and Starlink satellites. The space station was forced to avoid satellites in July and October.

If launches remain unregulated, the proliferation of tens of thousands of satellites will cause unalterable changes to the night sky. Satellites have been designed to be less visible from Earth.
The UK government-backed OneWeb is one of the competitors that Musk's company is racing against to build a satellite network large enough to cover the whole globe. The US authorities have given the go-ahead for the company to launch 12,000 satellites and eventually have a constellation of 42,000.
Amazon, founded by Jeff Bezos, the world's second-richest person after Musk, is also planning to join the low-Earth-orbit (LEO) space race with the first launch of its Project Kuiper satellites in late 2022. Other competitors include Blackrock-backed companies, as well as the US, Canada, and the Chinese government.
