He was clever to an extent. Not to the extent to control massive resources, henchmen, scientists, etc. I don't see the point of him being control because literally anyone else would be more interesting. If Control's voice was like that, it should sound more robotic. But it's not. It's a filter. They already have clear distinctions in the show between robot voices and filter voices, and this one is obviously the latter.

See, the thing is, Meta wanted this power, but I'm not sure even he knew what he planned to do with it. At some point, the AI were more or less in control, and were using him to get the Alpha. After they were gone, he was kind of... lost. He still had that desire for power, but when he got some all he did was to start trying to kill everything again. Control's whole operation would require a lot more insight and planning than I think the Meta ever really aknowledged. What's he going to do, have his own little killing spree after he gets all this stuff? Maybe on the Reds and Blues, but you know he can't win or else we're out of a main cast. So what's the point?
