The value of X is determined when the ability resolves. It won't change later, even if the number of Elves you control changes.
10/1/2007
If you control no Elves when the ability resolves, the Forest will become a 0/0 creature and be put into the graveyard. However, since Elvish Branchbender is itself an Elf, the Forest will usually be at least a 1/1.
8/1/2008
A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its  abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of his or her most recent turn. It doesn't matter how long the permanent has been a creature.
