It is not obvious to this observer that either of your claims contain any truth whatsoever, let alone a mere "kernel." In fact, to this observe, both of these claims seem quite ludicrous
Regarding intelligence services: There's a very long history of CIA misconduct, including spying, abusing and murdering Americans.[0] As well as an abundance of human rights abuses, which aren't, but should be a big issue in American discourse. NSA up in everyone's business is basically the same. [1] We like to claim China is a totalitarian state, but their surveillance is less sophisticated than ours.
Regarding the second point, I don't believe in satanic rituals or lizard people, but it is crazy that democratically elected officials go party with billionaires, european aristocrats and IC people in extremely secretive venues. The networking organizations consistently place them in important positions afterwards regardless of merit or preferences of the electorate. This leads to a neo-feudal class of elites and their sycophants, which is deeply anti-democratic.
Due to my background, I know quite a few of these people, and they are frankly disgusting. The amount of slime, butt-lickery and unearned pathos you have to endure at an "elite" party is just making my skin crawl.

How, then, is Trump-Musk not the Deep State?
Because they're not part of that class - indeed that class hates them. Trump eats his steaks well done for goodness' sake. They might get invited to the parties now, but they certainly didn't up until a few years back. The elite class fell over themselves disassociating from Trump and Musk (or rather never had that association in the first place).
Trump is a democratically elected offical; Musk is a billionaire. They are literally part of that class. It is astonishing that you are trying to claim the opposite of things that are obviously true, and frankly, part of the very problem with Trump's administrations ("alternative facts") and Elon Musk (Nazi salute followed by an attempt to gaslight the planet).
Shame on you for such a blatant lie.
Trump is an extremely atypical democratically elected official, Musk is an extremely atypical billionaire, they are not part of that social class.
Maybe try to make an effort to understand what people are telling you rather than leaping to accusations and attempts at shaming. (That's assuming you actually want to understand, of course)
They are on some level fighting the deep state, but only to replace some minority interests with their own - and completely subvert democracy to create a neo-feudal plutocracy. People who voted for them as a solution to anti-democratic, elitist corruption are complete fools.
1) The CIA et al, official parts of the government that work secretely and control the world through illegal and shadowy actions. They assassinate people going against them (eg. JFK), faked the moon landing and poison the water supply to keep the population weak willed aso.
2) Neo-feudalistic elites, a mix of billionaires, politicians and the previously mentioned security services. They meet at Bilderberg to perform satanic rituals, work together in the trilateral commission, and might all be lizard people.
Now both of those obviously contain a kernel of truth, both the unaccountability of intelligence agencies, on more than one occasion used even against the american population, as well as these neo-feudal, elitist structures are anti-democratic. But that's a whole other topic, the interesting bit. is that over the last 10 years or so, also with the rise of QAnon, the idea of the "deep state" has been reframed to basically mean "professional bureaucracy".
What was once the topic of cynical comedy in "Yes minister", is now phrased as an existential threat to democracy - ironically and cynically by people who openly admit to wanting to create a fully neo-feudal society.
