Nikon's new nifty fifty - Klaus - 10-10-2019
The "el cheapo" (sort of) 58mm f/0.95
https://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/z-mount/z_58mmf095s/index.htm
Yours for just $8000. Manual focus, of course.

Looking at the lens construction, it indeed uses the mount real estate. And it does have a tripod foot. And a "Canon RF style" control ring. And a HUGE focus throw which will be both a blessing (precise focus control) and a bother (turning... turning, turning... STAY STILL because I have not reached focus yet!).
And....

Hard to say for sure, with such a huge amount of blurring, but those white shapes in the background do not promise very smooth bokeh....

Or 9814.- francs in Switzerland (8965.- €).
Or two Otii 55/1.4 (2950.-) and a Z 7 with FTZ (3130.-) and for the rest buying a nice flight or train ticket (784,) to a nice place.

Well, it's a - "here, we can do this" lens - with no intention of selling more than a handful.
It's a bit tragic that it'll give you basically the same amount of blur as a 105mm f/1.4 - available for 1300EUR over at Sigma - including AF. Same size/weight, too.
Whether this is going to help their mission ...
The recent obsession in the 50mm segment is a little weird, really. Out of curiosity I just filtered the amount of 50mm-ish lenses on a price comparison site.
Result: 275 (across all mounts, some duplicates due to the same lens available in different mounts).
275 ...

And the Sigma comes with AF, Arca compatible tripod foot, while the Nikkor is based in a huuuuge pelican case. And has instead of only one two distance scales - wow - or an aperture scale - wow - and two buttons (to compensate the missing AF/MF switch?
)Okay, for the 8400.- francs I can buy a couple of Pelican cases. And a small 2nd hand car to transport them...

If you can spend $8000 for this, you also have your own porter.

The Leica disease is contagious.
And we thought the Otus line was expensive.

Nope (maybe unless you count the S-mount) but a few $8000 ones (or more expensive).
(I was talking about the price in the piece you quoted )
