Alexander the great utilized Porus's elephants as war weapons by employing tactical strategies that capitalized on their size and strength. He trained his troops to create formations that could counter the elephants' charge, using light infantry and archers to harass them from a distance. Additionally, he leveraged the psychological impact of the elephants on his enemies, using them to instill fear and disrupt enemy formations. Ultimately, his innovative tactics allowed him to neutralize the elephants' advantage and turn them into tools of war.

How was Alexander able to turn Porus into a kind of weapon?

It was the other way round - Alexander strangely not only let Porus retain his kingdom but also gave Porus the territory of a king who had supported Alexander, then conquered some other territory for Porus. This gives some reason to suspect that Alexander did not conquer Porus, but at best it was a standoff, or even a loss, and he came to a deal with Porus.
