I highly doubt that would work. You have orbiting objects travelling at many times the speed of sound and you expect to be able to sail out of the way? You do realise it takes just 90 minutes to orbit the Earth right? Unless you think objects the size of cities are hurtling towards the elevator, I think the elevator should be flexible enough (as it is made out of flexible materials - carbon nanotubes) to just curve out of the way.
