The Elements probably would have either turned him to stone or killed him. They only banished Nightmare Moon to the moon (instead of purifying Luna as they did when the Mane 6 used them on her) because Celestia couldn't control their full power, as Luna is usually connected to three of them. (Actually, there's speculation that Tirek was actually killed the first time he was sent to Tartarus, but I'm inclined to believe they sent him through the gate and didn't have to use the Elements on him, if he ever did go to Tartarus the other way it would be the second time)

Good point Glenn. Still, they didn't use the Elements on Sombra either
