I think maybe you can have a perfectly inelastic object in a "spherical chicken of uniform density" type thought experiment. The catch is that space is deformable(1) so it makes the experiment not especially useful. And that might be the point. (1) Unless you assumed that your material did not deform with the space that contained it, which would make the experiment nonsense.

No you can't have an inelastic object and at the same time say that "Special Relativity is Correct". They are incompatible definitions. It's like talking about all even primes greater than 2. Or green objects that aren't green.
