No, neither drywall "mud" nor spackle is elastic, and if the paint is peeling it more than likely that it indicates that the wall was not cleaned before being painted.

It's been at least 5 days. I might be overworking it. But it's elastic, would mud or spackling be elastic? He painted right over it within that 4 hour time period, yes I know some spackling dries quickly I've been told but that was last Sunday, it's now Friday and it is softer than nailpolish because I can take my fingernail and make a quick indent. OK, I'm overworking it.

You might be over working the problem. If it were mine, I'd let it cure for a few days before attempting to sand and smooth.

I took it this morning as I was attempting to sand the job. I noticed that the paint was peeling over the patched up work and it was kind of elastic under that. Could that be drywall spackle or mudd that would be so elastic? I still have my doubts and wonder if somehow it really is caulking once again. You can see the lumpy job in photo 3 even though I attempted to sand it.
