You can do that but it would require a track that is tens of kilometers long along with a magnetic levitation technology. My suggestion is something we can do right now with a basic landing strip. But yes a meglev is the end game. Needs to reach 8,570 km/h for moon orbital velocity.

You would have to do at least a circulization burn no matter the budget spent on maglev.

Then when the inevitable war for independence takes place, you have the option to throw rocks at Earth. ;)

That is the idea behind "mass drivers" on the moon I believe. Maybe that search term helps.
