Long winded video about it:

I assume the post is saying that they’re both touching the ends of the stick and then one person pushes. It would be instant. What would sound have to do with an object moving? Purely mechanical communication.
-
Are you saying that the person on the moon would feel a tap from the other end or the person would actually push the stick forward towards the man’s hand on the moon?
-
I'm not a scientist, but when I asked the same question before they said, "compression."
Like, the stick would absorb the power of your push, and it would shrink (across its length) before the other end moved. When the other end does finally move, it's actually the compression reaching it.

Weigh on Earth or on Moon?

We're supposing that you have an herculean strengh and that weight is not a problem

Large if factual

(i know i may have broken english sometimes, sorry about that)
Not at all! I couldn't tell you aren't a native speaker. Regarding a "moon elevator", or more realistically a space elevator, these kinds of Herculean physics problems are exactly what people are trying to iron out. The forces involved are astronomical.

That was excellent. Thank you
