What Kishimoto said is an elite someone with the Sharingan and the Kekkei Genkai can break it. Regardless of the effects that are applied, they can still potentially break it. Time dilation is as part of Tsukuyomi as Madara's arm is to Madara. If Kishimoto says someone can defeat Madara, that doesn't mean, they can defeat Madara as long as he ain't using his arm. That means he can defeat Madara. An elite Uchiha has the potential to break Tsukuyomi according to Itachi and Kishimoto. Let me ask you this, is this impossible: Itachi performs an illusion that was so torturous that the sharingan user can't concentrate enough to break it? We saw how Sasuke reacted when Itachi took his eye out and we know it could have been much worse.

There's no particular illusion that's inherent to Tsukuyomi, it's highly variable and how torturous an illusion of, an genjutsu is, makes an astronomical difference in the opponent's concentration, as shown in the series. He can change it to make the opponent's worse nightmare.

I can defeat Madara, like you said means "I can defeat Madara", but that statement doesn't mean "I can defeat Madara in all conditions", just that they have the possibility to defeat Madara, in some conditions. The illusion that Itachi uses in the Tsukuyomi changes almost every time he uses it, it doesn't have a set illusion or set amount of time dilation, it's not the same as Madara having two arms, as he almost always has two arms, he doesn't change that on the regular. The Databook even says this: "The phenomena that happen inside of the mental realm are entirely the caster’s to command. Which is to say, the images shown or the actions taken can be changed according to the opponent in order to yield maximum efficiency."

Having the potential to break Tsukuyomi doesn't mean their capable of it currently, but that they can become capable of it in the future.

Wrong. If we're taking things literally can was used by Itachi, who said "only someone with the Kekkei Genkai and Sharingan can". Kakashi said Sasuke. So Sasuke can break Tsukuyomi. Can as I showed above, can mean possibility. Then Kishimoto added, they needed to be an elite as well. So, does Sasuke have those requirements or can potentially have those requirements? Yes. So no one was wrong.

If Sasuke has the potential to break it, than either he can break as he is now or he can gain the ability later. The same logic can be implied to what the databook said about an Elite Uchiha being able to break Tsukuyomi. They can gain the ability later.
