A space "fountain" is more practical in our day and age. Using magnetism and kinetic energy to hold up the space elevator, not a super strong material that can't be mass produced yet. A space fountain doesn't require geo-synchronicity or be on the equator to stay aloft and can be built to any height.

for people who think this would be a problem because of the earth spinning they could just build a space port right at the end of the elevator right outside of the well and just keep it their
