Elon Musk recently rejected a video of an Indian athlete, which broke a Guinness World Record for the ‘longest Hercules Pillars (Male)’ in Surat, Gujarat. The Vispi Khaddi pushed the limit of human ability by grabbing Hercules columns for 2 minutes and 10.75 seconds. The columns measuring a 123 -inch height with a diameter of 20.5 inches weigh 166.7 kg and 168.9 kg. The achievement was recorded by Guinness and entered their Book of World Records.
Influenced by this achievement, Elon Musk resumed the video published by the official X handle of the Guinness World Record. In the clip, Mr. Khardi is seen holding two small columns after Greek architecture, known as Hercules Pillars. He performed his strength and endurance and organized mass columns for 2 minutes and 10.75 seconds.
