nope.
The orbiting object just needs to orbit faster to stay at the same
height above the earth, and it does not go down.

the cable will bend under these conditions if very long.  as the top
part is going too fast to be geostationary, and the bottom is going too
slow to be geostationary for the cable to remain normal to the Earths
surface.   Short cable is ok, but not a 10,000 km one.
