Is Teslas best chance of survival the removal of Elon Musk?

Musk and his politics are obviously the main driving factors behind Tesla’s declining sales. I feel that as long as he is CEO, Tesla will always carry this stain because people won’t just forget. However, if he is removed or steps down and Tesla publicly states that they want no affiliation with his politics, do we think that will be enough for them to survive? The price of their stock seems like it’s going to keep plummeting as long as their sales do, and I just don’t see that reversing anytime soon.
