It's a trained performance, Jessica
After months of training the elephant - the handler tugs and prods the ears to get results at painting time
It's usually the same/similar painting each time
- Some suggest the training could be abusive but nobody knows for sure
I've seen similar. As cute as it sounds, and not to burst anyone's bubble, but a handler has a hold of the elephants tusk and is directing the movement. Sorry. 😬😬😬

It’s not exactly like our species is winning in the domain of existence or long term survival
Do people actually think the elephant is really painting that stuff... like, randomly on its own
Yikes
It's not just direct involvement by the handler at painting time but also intense training which is probably abusive - here's Snopes:
