They are both class Mammalia...of course so are humans...We are all related at the class level.

both the elephant and the pig share a lot of common DNA with another mammalian, the very rare but loud and obnoxious rosielius odonnellus

Actually, neither. While elephants, pigs and cows are all mammals, elephants belong to their own lonely order, Proboscidea, which includes elephants, mammoths, and several other species that are now extinct.
Biologists put animals together according to what they have in common, and at one time they thought that elephants' thick skin was similar to the skin of pigs, so the two species must be related. As they looked more closely, however, they saw that pigs and elephants don't really have that much in common. Now taxonomists believe that the two living sets of animals most closely related to the elephant are the hyrax and the sea cow ("sirenians" -- isn't that a great name? -- manatees and dugongs).

I see what you mean, but their noses are totally different. I don't think their like close relation or anything. Maybe distant.

If elephants tasted as good as pigs, they'd be extinct

This should answer everything*:
