"Listen up, Taiwan is not part of the PRC [People's Republic of China] & certainly not for sale!," foreign minister Joseph Wu said on Mr Musk's X.
At a business summit this week, Mr Musk compared Taiwan to Hawaii, calling it an "integral part" of China.
Beijing claims self-governed Taiwan and tensions between the two have ratcheted up over the past year.
Just this week, China conducted air and naval drills around Taiwan, in what has become a routine show of military might around the island. Taiwan said that it had detected more than 40 Chinese military aircraft and about 10 ships in its waters.
