With Tesla stocks plunging, owners rushing to sell their vehicles, and protests against Elon Musk's car company growing, it's been a bad time for Tesla and its Trump-supporting CEO. And on Tuesday, The Late Show host Stephen Colbert used his monologue to break it all down.

Trump's strong backing of his ally's company has eased some of Tesla's stock struggles - but also sparked major ethical concerns.
