Elastomer can be manipulated to be very hard (which is the norm) or very soft...which is consistent with the Tenga Egg. I would not be surprised if you were right.

Babeland lists the Tenga egg as being TPE. Also, everything else by Tenga is TPE, so it would make more sense that the Egg is as well. Based on the texture and stretchability of the Egg, I highly doubt that it is silicone.

Is the Egg good on all wand-style vibrators? And only good on the standard attachment, yeah?

I agree that it cannot be made of silicone, it even has a very light smell (not unpleasant), but it's way too stretchy to be pure silicone. Besides, the price and use would not make sense; who would create a toy made for single use from pure silicone?

As for the lubricant included, it is water based - from the list of ingredients.

I did a more extensive fire test with an "expired" Egg, and I'm thinking it might be a mix. Pure silicone will not sustain a fire (once you get it started burning it will stop rapidly when removed from the flame), whereas my Egg sample would sustain a flame. It also showed some melting, though not as much as a known-TPE toy, and it was also harder to ignite than a TPE toy.

It also passed a test of several days with oil lube slathered on it and still was stretchy and un-melted.

Not sure what it's made of.

Silicone is technically an elastomer. Elastomer is a technical term for anything that is really strechy. Most rubbers fall into that category including silicones.
