>You get started on making a 3 kilometer self supporting dome out of steel and I’ll get to work transporting a hundred billion tons to venus.
Yeah, but it's not necessary, we have plenty of carbon around in the atmosphere to expand and build, making stuff with the carbon around as prime building block/base would be fine.
The only problem is the damn teflon, but it's doable, importing the fluorine will be the only thing you'll be importing.
Shit, I'll make it easy for you, instead of wasting MILLIONS of dollars on trips with rockets, how about you just set a bunch of sky hooks? that way you'll use gravity and momentum to do the work for you.

That will be for later when we improve on cloud nine technology, in fact, venus may be the place which we will develop the technology necessary to set space cities on gas giants.

That's what venus is for anon.
Imagine, if we use venus as a sandbox/test ground we could develop the technology to set cities on gas giants.
Jupiter would be lovely for that, moons full of minerals that are close by and a gas giant with plenty of fuel to make a rocket a fucking school bus drive.
