You'll need to fly some more miles.
Pedantic point: 50,000 miles = Premier Executive (not Elite).
There is a way to do something like what you're interested in on the CO side. Basically, you buy a ticket, and then purchase the EQM option. Those miles count, and then you cancel the original ticket (of course, you had to BUY a refundable ticket to start with). You would first need a CO account, and then link to your MP account. The EQM should merge, and you should be set. I don't know the particular cost, but you can look in the CO forum and find out.
