Does anyone think this ponytail palm has a chance of bouncing back? I think it’s dead.

I received this plant a few months ago from friends that did not take care of it well. It was already very dried out when I got it and has only gotten worse as l've had it, despite my efforts to revive it. The pot it was previously in was too small and had hardly any soil in it, leaving a lot of the root system exposed, and it got almost no light where it was in their house.

After taking it home and letting it acclimate for a few days, I had pruned off all the dried up brown leaves and repotted it. More and more leaves continued to dry up and the outer sheaths of the stems eventually started to come right off from being so dry.  
My last effort is repotting it today in this very high-quality succulent soil in a pot with a drainage hole.

The blackness I see at the base of the trunk, near the rocks, makes me think it’s pretty dead ☠️
