I can't say if that's really how he runs his company or not, but he definitely made up that quote for social media. He probably practiced it in front of a mirror after that in case he gets asked to repeat it later.
Not just for clout.
There's a good chance he's saying that to get people to apply at where he works, and people would be told (or at least think) that exceptions to the written rule are frequent and not a big deal.
Then when the new round of (likely disposable) employees ask for something, they're told to fuck off an to read their hiring agreement.
Usually the worst a business is, the more they make up weird stories about how cool it is to work there. Because they have to trick people into accepting positions.
My boss would say something very similar, and mean it.
LOL, in the same vein, he also told me, "I don't believe in micromanaging my people. If you find me micromanaging you, it's because I'm looking for your replacement."
