Here's an updated answer to that question on Inverse. A link to the original article this update is based on is at the bottom of that page. Inverse article:

I was glad to read this in the article, it seems like a waste trashing the entire ISS:

"In the planned, controlled, de-orbit operation for the ISS, newly built modules will first detach from the main structure and remain in orbit to eventually recombine as parts of future space stations. The ISS will then be gently decelerated by onboard thrusters, causing its orbiting altitude to gradually lower over the course of a few months."

Axiom-1: First all-private crew launches to space station is a bbc article about a launch to the ISS today. The info below was news to me.

A quote from the article:
“The company has an agreement with Nasa to add its own modules to the American segment of the ISS. The idea eventually is that these modules will bud off on their own to become a fully private LEO destination just before the ISS is retired.”
