GTO: ~11.5 km/s

GEO: ~14 km/s (but you don't need that speed since the end of the cable is much slower, orbit period of ~28days instead of 24 hours)

GEO <-> moon surface ~3.2km/s

Thanks but that's not what I asked.

I asked what is the difference in delta-v between getting from the surface of the earth to GEO vs getting from the surface of the earth to Lunar orbit.

The answer is, there is almost no difference.
