Ashley St. Clair Loans Musk Baby to Congress for Remote Work Push

According to sources close to the Capitol, Ashley St. Clair has started renting out a baby she claims is Elon Musk’s to members of Congress.

Lawmakers, especially new parents, are using the child as a prop to argue that the demands of parenthood make it tough to balance life as a member of Congress, pushing for the ability to work remotely. St. Clair, a conservative grifter who recently sold her Tesla, has turned her personal situation into a side gig by supplying the infant to highlight the struggles of congressional mothers and fathers.

The debate over remote work heated up as several lawmakers became new parents, bringing attention to the grueling schedules that clash with raising young children. Long sessions and constant travel have left them seeking ways to juggle their roles, and a baby on screen makes their case more relatable.

“I’m changing diapers at midnight—why can’t I vote from home?” said Representative Brittany Pettersen of Colorado, holding the rented infant during a virtual constituent meeting.

St. Clair, who says she’s compensating for “child support losses” from Musk, handed the baby to a congressional aide outside her New York City apartment. Musk has not confirmed paternity, leaving the child’s lineage up for debate.

“Congressional parents need a face for their fight, and I need the cash,” St. Clair told reporters. "If Elon would just reply to me, I wouldn't have to sell our baby to afford my lifestyle."

Musk, reached at a SpaceX test site, took the news in stride. “No idea if that’s my kid, but renting the child out as a prop? Pretty wicked,” he said.

The baby has already popped up in several mainstream media news interviews. Supporters say that managing parenthood from home proves they can handle legislative duties too.

“Being a senator and a dad shouldn’t mean abandoning one for the other,” said Senator James Carter of Oregon, who rented the baby for a trade discussion.

Critics, though, see it as a cheap ploy for sympathy. A recent survey from the Congressional Management Foundation found that most constituents still expect lawmakers to show up in person, despite the parenting challenges.

“It’s hard, sure, but that’s the job they signed up for,” said analyst Rachel Dunn.

St. Clair remains unbothered, suggesting she might expand her rental service if more parents in Congress bite. “New moms and dads want to show the struggle—I’ve got the perfect prop."
