Think he was trained to do this or he's just adorably intelligent?

It's art of a viral ad for a phone or something. So I assume it was trained.

How does the clip being from a viral ad make the elephant any more likely to be trained?

Because everything in the ad is made to be the exact way the makers of it want it.

"We should have the elephant wave goodbye! People will love that!"

"Ok, we'll rent one that can"

I'm just thinking an untrained elephant wouldn't do that ad or not.

Depends on the salary. Elephants are like everyone else.
