I think Taylor gets a lot of hate because many people want her to be a role model for young adults.

When she inevitably fails to live up to everyone's standards, this is what ensues.

It's hilarious to watch.

Also, nobody is holding musk up as a role model. At least, not for young adults.

You know. Except his followers, who are primarily young adults.

I'll just point out that there's a significant difference between wanting someone to be a role model for others and having someone as a role model for yourself. IMO, more people view Swift as the former, and most who hold musk in high regard are the latter.
