First off, action/reaction speed which you would be measuring, has nothing to do with speed of light. It is "information" that travels, you can not compare that to the issue at hand.

2nd, even with Diamonds, which is the stiffest material, the pull would not be instant, since the atoms still have a small delay in their bound state when they are moved together, it might be tiny, but its not 0.
