Yes, but you would be listening to elevator music for an extended period of time.

I’m just worried that the cable would get caught and the spin of the earth would draw the moon into contact.

Wouldn’t the moon have to be in geosynchronous orbit?

Only ride the moon gondola if it takes you to the best skiing.

Wouldn’t “some people” fly an airliner into the cable?

Nah they would put travelers to sleep so if something went wrong you would know it.

Not at all.
You just need a track that goes completely around the world, letting the cable move as the world moves, but still affixed to the ground.
Pretty simple.

Hey, I heard my local Kroger piping in Guns N’ Roses through the store speakers last week, so it might not be that bad of a wait.

This whole space elevator thing is the turd that wouldn’t flush. First off, to install the cable, how to you feed out cable fast enough when you’re going 25,000 MPH toward/away from the moon? Another complication is that the earth is not rotating so that the same location is always facing the moon.
Go back to your business article, BI, because your aerospace knowledge is not impressive.

“Space Tethers” have been a concept since 1895.
Okay, I cheated and checked Wiki.
