You’ll never see this in New York City or in DC for example.

There are surface lots in Manhattan, though they are being developed into multistory buildings and no new surface lots are being constructed.

Some of the remaining surface lots probably continue to operate as placeholders for "future tall building site", while rights/price/building codes are being hashed out. In the meantime, you can charge a lot of money for a parking spot in Manhattan.

He seems to be saying that the market value of Twitter is $40B less than what it was before stuff happened. "Value destruction" tends to be applied to "stock" (like market cap) rather than "flow" (like revenues).

He's basically saying Twitter is worth $4B, given that he paid $44B and seems to be saying $40B of values was destroyed.

Losing $40B in less than a year is, uh, remarkable.

"Fine, fine. You do that. We've upped the risk of kaiju attacked along the Florida coast. Water and wind kaiju, not the radioactive fire breathing ones."

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful."
