Trump is to Boomers as Elon Musk is to Millennials.
They are almost the exact same personality wrapped in only slightly different generational belief systems. Where Trump made waves in the 80s by being the "winner" type, Musk made waves by being the "visionary" type.
Both are voracious exaggerators bordering on pathological liars. Both are media whores who appear in movie cameos as themselves. Both are completely despised by former business partners. Both use Twitter as a personal echo chamber.
Only reason Musk hasn't gone bankrupt is because the US government kept all of his businesses afloat with major capital infusions. At least Trump's bankruptcies didn't cost tax dollars.
Musk is worshiped because a lot of people don't want to face the fact he's a bullshit artist so they have to take comfort in the illusion of his persona.
