Yeah, but a space elevator is beyond our current capabilities of materials science. Neom has the benefit of being physically buildable even if the end result isn’t desirable.
The oversized rectangular prism, sure, if you can get the materials in the quantities necessary. I’d be very surprised if any structural engineers said the chandelier idea was feasible without being paid a lot of money to say exactly that.
50 billion already spent
