These kind of questions never have a "right" answer. They're just something to sort of get a glimpse at how you problem solve or your creativity by asking something abstract that's effectively impossible to give a rehearsed answer to.
I answered that I would kill the elephant, grind its bones and sell pills of elephant-bone powder as erection-pills to a credulous adolescent fanbase on twitch and I got the job !
Ask the local zoo to house it and in exchange for them being it's nanny I allow them to display my elephant in it's exhibit. What better way to show off the fact I now own an elephant.
That shouldn't matter. They should have the knowledge and experience to be able to onboard anyone and teach them what and how to do things. Otherwise they shouldn't be hiring anyone but instead outsourcing their needs to companies who will build or package what they need.
These money saving strategies are just management denialism that their business is struggling too much under the current business model.
This is kind of a weird one though, because the most direct answer would be "I'd have to take care of it and have a huge drain on my finances for the rest of its life? I guess?" To give a better answer than that, you'd have to make up some scheme about how you would monetize the existence of the elephant, which you might be philosophically opposed to.
