Considering that some hogs and other animals with tusks can have some terrible consequences when the tusks grow out of control. Sometimes they grow into their brains and then they die from brain injury or infections.

If an alien species studies how humans walk - we basically fall forward on one leg and use the other to stop the fall and then repeat - the aliens will conclude that humans should have died out from clumsy accidents while simply moving from one place to another. And yet, here we are, champion long distance runners because we can sweat, and that also makes us the dominant (destructive, invasive) species. Animals are not the idiots we think they are. Birds don't fly into trees (though they do fly into perfectly transparent windows), monkeys do fall out of trees but only a small percentage, mongooses didn't go extinct trying to fight snakes, rodents don't get permanently buried in the winter snow, and so on.

"Weird" is relative, you dry-nosed mammal!😁😁😁 It is interesting how some of the larger critters came in many different shapes but smaller mouse-like burrowers seemed to stay mostly the same. I suspect the difference between tusk configurations isn't as crucial to a larger animal as a wedge-shaped head is for a smaller one.

Why would anyone assume parts of animals (like tusks) have a single use? Tusks could provide protection, ways to get food, ways to attract mates, ways to compete for mates or resources, etc… Same as hands, people don’t just use hands to fight. Hands get food, embrace friends, sow the earth, provide entertainment in games or music, etc… These tusks being so prominent to the animal probably had multiple uses.

Walruses with similarly-angled tusks use theirs for digging mollusks, fighting, and climbing, because all good tools have more than one use. The lower jaw is a weaker place to use them for leverage, but a great place to have them to dislodge a predator from one's neck.

If they were for striping bark and things like that it makes sense they were curved down instead of up like the actual elephants. Those were in the lower jaw, so you dont want to make force in an upward motion (straining your jaw muscles) but instead in a downwards motion, in which the mouth is closed and the lower jaw can "rest" against the upper one.

Besides practical uses, maybe it was a trait used to set themselves apart and also used in mating? Maybe it was deemed attractive the animals who then proceeded to choose mates below their lower jaw tusks?

I think those hooks helped them pull up shrubbery with their strong neck, and the trunk evolved to shovel food from those hooks to their mouths. It explains the origins of tusks AND trunks in one go.

The theory how most herbivore animals (and presumably dinosaurs) evolve to develop horns as a defense mechanism for their neck agaist predators, may have been the same as this species, but for the lower parts instead due to their heights. As nature call it, if it works, then the survive mutation can be passed down.

Theoretically they could but in practice their trunk would have a greater reach so what's the point? Plus the trunk can pull food directly into the mouth whereas with the tusks they would have to break the said branch and then pick it up and eat it.

Unique structures of extinct creatures unseen similarity among the extant ones never fail in provoking wild speculations. Here's another example. Often scientists do so, picking up a (petrified) bone in hand. Isolated elements may tell much, but much without restriction imposed by flesh & bones (articulation, free range). Combination of anatomy & animal behavior (ecology) would come to the rescue. It's indeed an excellent brain exercise & fun!
