The roadster is not orbiting the Earth. You lack understanding of the topic and thus fall victim to fear mongering by clickbait articles. Right now, with little done to protect from debris the chances of Kessler syndrome actually happening are tiny. Also most of the new constellations that are coming up in the following years will be in LEO where atmospheric drag is enough to get them down and burn in the atmosphere on their own within months of them malfunctioning. The problem is in higher orbits in which the amount of space is multiple orders of magnitude bigger and the number of satellites is much smaller as well. Also those higher orbits have little financial incentive for the new space age companies.
