We don't actually have any idea what causes gravity. Your elves may well be Higgs Bosons or something like that. (God Particles...)
So no, we don't have any evidence that "elves" of some kind cause gravity, or that anything at all does. And so the question is open—we don't suspect anything, but we don't particularly suspect nothing either.
It's rather disingenuous to speak of the Higgs Boson as gravity elves though.
With gravity, we're not really in a state of no evidence, because as I said before, if you have an effective predictive model, then you have evidence for the things the model predicts. So we have evidence favoring things that could plausibly fit into our existing models over things that couldn't.
If we're discussing, for instance, what caused the universe to come into existence, and it turns out that there is a first cause, but it has nothing that could be described as thoughts or intentions, then it doesn't save the god hypothesis to say that something was there, because what was there doesn't resemble anything that it's useful to conceive of as god.
