Can’t you place a space elevator below or above the equator? The tether would leave the ground at an angle but it would be parallel to the centrifugal force from the planet’s spin.

I scrolled way down through a lot of answers to not see anyone say… it doesn’t need to be tethered at the equator. It will end up curved if it’s tethered elsewhere. Google “non-equatorial space elevator”.
