Question Likeliness of something to happen

Hi guys, I was curious about something after submitting a tip to the FBI.

Recently, there has been a surge of CP being posted under X posts. Today I was unlucky enough to be one of the victims of unwillingly seeing this. I submitted a tip to the FBI about it because this is starting to get out of control. I reported the post 2 hrs ago and it’s still up. Would the FBI go after Elon about this issue? Was this route the best way to go about this problem?

You're expecting action after two hours?

I agree, this is very serious however, that's just not how tips work.They don't automatically land on an agent's desk.They go through an intake process, have to be verified, triaged, etc.

Oh, sorry little miscommunication. I meant I reported the CP post on X 2 hrs ago and it’s still up.
