Chances are an elephant is not even going to notice a snake moving through the grass or brush, mainly due to their size. Kinda how you can take a walk through the forest and walk right past a million and one different animals and never even notice them.
As far as taking down an elephant. There are several species of snakes out there that could kill a full grown bull elephant with only a few drops of venom... the problem is that the snake would not be able to puncture the thick hide of an elephant. That is not to say that it could not happen, it is just extremely difficult and near impossible.
If anything I would say the snakes avoid the elephants more than the elephants avoid the snakes. Mainly out of fear of being crushed.
