Yeah you say that until you get a tusk in the crotch

They'll be wearing stylish pool noodles on the tusks to minimize furniture and gonad damage.

Or we create them with softer tusks. Maybe that's better, the. They'll also be worthless to poachers.

I don't want to live in a world that has wooly mammoths with floppy tusks. It just seems wrong.
