Elephants can be left or right tusked similar to how humans are left or right handed.

Infact verdict: True (91/100).

The claim that elephants can be left or right tusked, similar to human handedness, is supported by multiple sources. These sources indicate that elephants have a dominant tusk, often referred to as the master tusk, which is more worn due to frequent use. This behavior is analogous to human handedness, where one hand is typically more dominant. The evidence from reliable sources corroborates the claim, confirming its accuracy.
