Teleporting an object into geosynchronous orbit

correct height (Wikipedia says about 42,164 km from the earth's center of gravity, if I'm reading it correctly) and directly above its point of origin and maintained all momentum, would it arrive in a geosynchronous … The momentum transferred from its surface velocity should be exactly the velocity of an object in geosynchronous orbit, if my understanding of orbital mechanics is correct, and, thus, it should be in geosynchronous
