Career
As a prank, In 2013 Elijah created an official White House petition to make Miley Cyrus's "Party in the U.S.A." the national anthem[1][2] of the USA. Starting in 2014 Elijah began hosting a weekly internet prank with CollegeHumor called Text Prank Thursday, where he would have his Twitter followers text random phone numbers saying whatever he told them to say.[3][4]
In 2016 Daniel stated in Twitter that he was going to get drunk, write and self-publish an erotic novel starring the president, Donald Trump, in one day. Within a few hours, Daniel had released the novella titled Trump Temptations: The Billionaire & The Bellboy on Amazon.[5] The book was an instant viral hit and quickly topped the charts, becoming a best seller.[6] The book received massive press, and was featured on New York Daily News,[7] Los Angeles Times,[8] and VICE.[9]
In a 2016 interview with Paper Magazine, Daniel said that based off the press of his books, he was able to sell two television shows. One docu-series titled 'Elijah Daniel is Insane', and one scripted comedy titled 'Social' co-starring Vine comedian Christine Sydelko.[10] In 2016 Daniel was detained and questioned by the Secret Service after tweeting a photo of the Donald Trump rally in Sparks, Nevada and tweeting crypt messages. Daniel tweeted and updated his fans to let them know he was fine and just being questioned. He also attempted to throw a dildo at Mr. Trump.[11][12]
To celebrate the success of Trump Temptations, on May 21, 2016, Daniel live-streamed himself getting a tattoo of Donald Trump performing oral sex on a man.[13] In July 2016, Daniel hosted Give Wednesday, a live streamed telethon co-hosted by Marlon Wayans and Alison Eastwood to benefit the Eastwood Ranch Foundation. The show featured a lineup of internet personalities and celebrities playing games and challenges for charity. At the end of the episode, Daniel let Marlon tattoo his thigh live on camera.[14]
