I put higher weight on joking than crazy. He might be trying to build up plausible deniability for past/future claims that he really believes in but could get him fired.
I don't think that strategy is likely to succeed. Just look at the criticism that Eliezer got after his April first post.
I think the most charitable reading is that he wants to run an experiment on his audience to see the effect of writing utter crap.
I sure hope that we get a post in a few days saying 'It seems I can't Social Text you guys.'
What happened? What is this post?
The post is about how he was born in a parallel world and then woke up in this world. It's full of statements intended to be plausible deniable and therefore complicated to read. Eliezer withdraw the post from LW.
