Not even need this. Some piece of junk on a collision course is all it needs (a Tesla for example.)
Don't underestimate the velocity orbiting objects need to stay there, the kinetic energy they possess and how fragile sattelites or space stations are.
For many people space seems to be some modern kind of "settlement in the west without indians" - our place is trashed up, so now we need more space to dump our junk.
When I see all those fancy ideas what all should be launched up into space it's proof to me, many people too strong believe in fairy tales science fiction movies tell, but have no real idea how space reality actually is.
One example that proves this to me is, like until the 1980s there have been only discussions, what all needs to be build where, but only some not to be taken seriously fancy eco-freaks anybody is allowed to make fun of tried to think of how to avoid trash and cleaning up.
Before one thinks of sending up even more junk, one better answers the question first,
how to clean up to get enough space for all that new junk?

We needed 300 years to trash our planet, 50 years to even start any cleaning up at all lagging crucially behind, and still the trashing up still continues -
accelerating.
We already trashed up our space. Needed 70 years for that. Not yet even started to clean up there, but only thinking of what more junk we can launch up there and trashing up space even more -
accelerating.
Currently, where the limits of what our planet can bear are apparently exceeded, we elect governments telling us, that all this green environment protection bogus is just a complete load, climate change ain't nothing we need to care about at all, lack of resources is all just fairy tales made up by fancy morons lost contact to reality better not listen to.
Elon ain't no better do-gooder than all the rest of those capitalist. He also decoys and disguises his ideas with making the world a better place. That's called white- or green- or brain-washing.
In fact it's only even more trashing up, even more waste of resources and even more destruction of the environment for to make a few ones shovel even more money in their own pockets. And nothing else.
It's like in the bad old days again we greybeards already saw in the 1970s...1990s.
Cleaning up does not pay off. Only producing even more junk does. So:
Who wants to clean up? Nobody.
Who wants to produce even more junk? Everybody.
What about resources and environment? Let others care about that later.
Where shall all the power come from we need for that stunt? Nuclear power.
How shall this all be payed? Subventions by tax payers money.
Groundhog Day.
The only new thing so far by the last 300 years is, we don't trash up Earth but space instead.
But that's only because Earth cannot be trashed up anymore.
If we don't learn how to save resources, stop wasting space, stop destroying the environment, stop to trash up our place, and how to clean up, it's completely pointless to expand anywhere, because that will not solve anything but expand our problems only.
And if we learn that, we can also stay here.
