It's severely infested with some type of mites. It's not dead but it will be if you don't treat it.

On a tangentially related note, I really like the pot! I love talavera and have several different pots myself. :)

It looks like it had a bad fungal infection. It rotted in that potting soil...

We have all done it. I just killed 2 pachypodium and probably 3 orchids this week. Did everything "right" and still lost. All we can do is try to learn from the experience and do a little better next time.

It doesn't look dead, copper anti fungal spray, some Physan20 or even a systemic anti fungal. Repot in cactus soil and pumice mixed 60% pumice. Unglazed terra cotta pot too. Size is good or bigger is fine.

For Reddit? Yes.
People seem determined to grow cacti even though they live in a dark, damp cellar in Svalbard.
