Photographer upconverted this lightning photo to 5.45 gigapixels

So if I understand the process correctly, the lightning itself still 50 megapixels…the lowest res part of the image?

Yes, but if he blended it well you wouldn’t really notice as those are all over-exposed (white) anyway.

(If you RTFA he gives a really coherent explanation of the whole process.)
