Yes, a solid would have the same mass on the moon as it would on earth. An object's mass is independent of the force of gravity, so its mass would remain the same even in the absence of gravity (e.g. on a spaceship). What would change is the weight, which is measured with mass in proportion to gravity.

Is the mass of an elephant on the moon the same as it's weight on the moon?

Mass and weight are two different things. Mass does not change, but weight changes depending on the gravity acting on the item. An elephant has the same mass on Earth, the Moon, or when weightless in orbit. The weights in each of those location will vary greatly.

Your mass will be the same on the Moon and on the Earth. However, your weight (the force with which gravity pulls on you) would be different because gravity is weaker on the Moon compared to the Earth.
