Because the stick isn't infinitely rigid. If you push it at one end the other end doesn't immediately start moving. The time it takes, I think, is equal to the speed of sound inside that material. Ultimately the forces that bind atoms together and allow them to interact are limited by the speed of light.

I'm sorry what? He hasn't made anything. The value created by the companies he owns is generated by the workers. He simply takes all that value that they've generated, and gives a poultry amount of it towards charities and NGOs to whitewash his reputation.
He's not a nice guy, he's a greedy ghoul.
Easily. I imagine that most spacecraft are already traveling faster than the speed of stick. It's likely only a few thousand meters per second
