You could make a space elevator easier that's true. But due to the low gravity and lack of an atmosphere, you see mass drivers suggested more often. They're also much simpler.
Mass drivers are definitely simpler and will almost certainly get built first, but they don't quite fill the same role because space elevator allows for docking in orbit.

Oh true but orbital rings are the sexiest option of course. Less necessary for the moon than the Earth though.
now there's a megaproject :)
