I think you are quite realistic but for now and for the next few months or years I think doge will not be separated from Elon, whether it's a good development or bad, still Doge will not be separated and will still be related to Elon.
even if elon doesn't make pumps and manipulations anymore but the stigma will still be there and I think this will last a long time because many people will definitely remember this regardless of those who benefit or lose
The stigma of everyone's assessment of the doge will remain eternal related to Elon Musk, maybe history will also record that in the future. I think to maintain its popularity in crypto it will not rule out the possibility that Doge will be accepted as a Telsa car payment in the future.
