The giant rhino would have weighed approximately 24 tons, the scientist said. Its shoulders would have been more than 16 feet off the ground, with the head rising to 23 feet. Its body was 26 feet long, which is about the same size as six elephants. For comparison, adult male giraffes might top 18 feet, with females reaching 14 feet.

That could be related to the biblical Behemoth. Maybe same species.

How fast could that thing have moved, though? Seems like it might have been easy to outrun as long as one didn’t get too close? My brain is having trouble imagining that it could move very fast.

Five meters (16 feet ) to shoulders, with the head potentially able to rise up to seven meters ( 23 feet ).
Large indeed.

Also, this makes no sense : "Its body was 26 feet long, which is about the same size as six elephants"
26 feet is around 7.9 meters. That would imply that the six elephants they mention were only about 1.31 meters ( 4.3 feet ) long each. A bit of a squeeze even for elephant calves.
