Well, an 'April fool' is usually the other way round, those believing the story are the fools..................anyway,

I'll admit that it would be quite a feat to achieve but it is so spectacularly pointless. Is this record even worth breaking in the 21st century riding behind an autopilot for most of it?

I truly love aviation but I struggle with the utter futility of this.

This doesn't push the boundaries of aviation, it's as futile as this:

7-Year-Old Pilot Crashes, Killing 3 And Ending Cross-Country Quest - The Tech

I would suggest that in-flight refuelling a light aircraft from a truck whilst ridiculously fatigued is less than wise.

Do you consider flying 4 hours, resting 4 hours and remaining airborne for over 2 months wise, the opposite of foolish? Would you care to enlighten us as to why or are you just spouting off cluelessly, again?
