If $T$ is one-to-one then by closed graph theorem $\ell_1$ may be regarded as a infinite dimensional closed subspaspace of $\ell_2$. Any closed infinite dimensional subspace of $\ell_2$ is $\ell_2$. Thus we conclude that $\ell_1$ is isomorphic to $\ell_2$. This is impossible because $\ell_2$ is reflexive while $\ell_1$ is not.
