I guess for a trillion dollars vine can built Elysium. Generating solar power in space (vs. on the ground) makes as much sense as running AI inference in data centers in space.
Space solar power makes perfect sense once you have sufficient in-space industrial infrastructure available, so that all the actually heavy stuff (structural materials, solar panels, antennas) stuff is manufactured from local (Moon, asteroid) resources & only the most high tech stuff is launched from Earth (electronics, engineers).
The space solar arrays on geostationary orbit would get basically 24/7 sunlight with no weather effects & constant thermal environment. On the ground ad the microwave antenna level you get clean electricity to use for whatever, at any time of the day.
