It's unclear where these statements come from, but I find it hard to imagine they were meant to be public, the CEO would know better. Most likely they were internal conversations that got leaked or conversations that got logged which were part of some sort of warrant/information request.

Or you're right and CEOs of huge multi-international companies are a lot more stupid than we previously thought.

I mean, even if he said it internally, that's a dumb thing to say.
