The big reveal was....
...I didn't get it. I guess I will have to rewatch it again. Maybe that was their goal.
First, they teased that Hacker Elliot survived the nuclear explosion and woke up in White Rose's "parallel universe".
Then, they teased that Hacker Elliot was dying and Happy Elliot was his "Jacob's Ladder" movie (aka Tibetan Book of the Dead).
Then, they teased that Hacker Elliot was a dark fantasy by Happy Elliot.
Then, they teased that Hacker Elliot and Happy Elliot were part of a "simulation" made by "them".
Then, the "simulation" was made by the Architect (he's available since the Matrix wrapped filming)
Then, they teased that Hacker Elliot had dreamed up almost everyone he cared about, and was back to dying a-la "Jacob's Ladder".
Then, the music stopped, they ran out of time, and we were left with the last idea, so I guess he died, and went to Heaven with his dream family to watch the movie about his life.
Anyone know WTF happened in the finale?

Elliot suffered from Dissociative Identity Disorder (multiple personality to laypeople). No news there.
The twist was that the Elliot we have come to know is really just another alternate personality that was spun up shortly before the show began, when Elliot was trapped in the server room as an InfoSec consultant. All the rage and fear caused him to create another personality which the other alters call The Mastermind.
The Mastermind created another personality to keep him company, called the Voyeur. That's the audience.
You only see the Mastermind in the show. Host Elliot has been pushed aside while the Mastermind finds his place in Elliot's team of personalities. During the show, Mr. Robot and the Mastermind fight for control.
The final shot is the Mastermind stepping aside, so host Elliot (the original personality) can take control again.
