Am I the only one who thinks the Wellicks are Elliot's parents and he has traveled back in time to fix things? E's father was an engineer, E's mother claimed he was too weak and couldn't do what he had to do, E's mom keeps on coming across as cold-hearted in history flashbacks, Joanna stabs her own uterus with a fork to induce labor and possibly ends up causing brain damage to the fetus, this brain damage can cause psychological issues like what Elliot has, Tyrell and Mr Robots are allies who have a secret on each other that could fukk them both over... Perhaps Elliot figured out how to hack time and "hello friend" is his future self talking to his current self. Also, we need to figure out how exactly Elliot is hacking people. There's a bigger concept with rewriting source code that I think we need to focus on.
Also, it would explain that E Corp stands for Elliot Corp and why he's the key (that everyone keeps holding up in the hallucination scene).
