Do we ever see the real Elliot Alderson?

Yes, but not in the way you think; the "Elliot" we follow for most of Mr. Robot is "The Mastermind," a dominant alter created by the real, original Elliot to cope with trauma, and the actual Elliot lives in a fantasy world until the series finale, when the Mastermind merges with him to find a true path forward with Darlene. The real Elliot appears in brief, often unreliable glimpses, especially in childhood flashbacks and during the finale's constructed reality, but the bulk of the show is through the Mastermind's perspective.
