What’s wrong with Tesla price targets??

I just read that Tesla price targets are at $333, with a high of $550! Who the heck is giving these insane price targets? I have never seen such high valuations on a company in decline, with sales deteriorating as we speak!

Are these analysts politically motivated to prop up Tesla stock because they’re scared Elon Musk will ruin their firms, since he’s in the government now? That’s pretty selfish thinking in my opinion, and isn’t this kind of blatantly false analyst ratings considered market manipulation?

This is why I don’t follow analyst ratings on any stocks to make my financial decisions. In February, Tesla's sales slumped in the U.S., Australia, China, and several European countries. The fall was precipitous in some markets, including Germany, where sales collapsed by 76% last month, and Italy, where Tesla registered a 55% drop.

You’ve got Howard Lutnick, the secretary of commerce, literally shilling Tesla stock on Fox News. Isn’t that illegal?

Tesla's stock price has sunk roughly 41% this year, although it remains up 46% over the last 12 months after surging in the weeks following Trump's electoral victory in November. So I really don’t understand why institutions with their fancy analysts who are much smarter than us retail traders decide to value this stock so high!!
