The only taxonomic relationship is that they are both mammals. Elephants are in the Order Proboscidea, and all pigs are in the Order Artiodactyla.
DNA-sequences indicate that elephants share a common ancestry with hyraxes, manatees, aardvarks, golden moles and elephant-shrews
Pigs are related to other hoofed animals like deer, elk, horses, giraffes, etc.

Like every living being (except humans), elephants also maintain a cordial relationship with the earth. They depend on the mother earth for their lives. There is no way an elephant can go and survive on moon. What you've seen is perhaps an illustration of a fairy story - don't give it any more thought.
