This question requires a little guessing at your intended context. But here's a possible answer: The elephant is considerably more massive than you are. Both you and the elephant are weightless, but you both retain your normal respective mass. Let's put you both in space suits. From your position next to the elephant, you give him a little push. For a given force (from the push) the change in your respective motions will be inversely proportional to your respective masses, so your change in motion will be much greater than the elephant's. But both motions will change, so yes, you can push an elephant in space, but he pushes back without even trying.
