Us?
We find that the Elliott we’ve been watching is just one of many personalities and that much of his experience is delusional. In the end, Darlene looks right at us and says, “Hello, Elliot.” Is that supposed to mean WE’RE Elliott?
No. His name really was Elliot. The final shot of Darlene looking at the camera was her talking to the real Elliot. We are looking through Elliot's eyes.
The whole series was about his alter The Mastermind (hoodie Elliot). Mr. Robot was the alter that The Mastermind ( representing Elliot's rage) created to protect his (The Mastermind) mind.
We never see the core personality because The Mastermind took over his mind and created a world of happy memories to keep the real Elliot there.
Apparently a lot of people dont get it but...yes. He has been talking to "us" the entire time and at the very end the realization is that "we" are the real/core Elliot. Also, it isn't all a dream/delusion: the events that happen up to the reactor meltdown save are real. Afterwords, it is an illusion Elliot creates until the end reveal.
