I see signs of a great CEO here. Owning up for mistakes is not easy!
I think it's impressive, and somewhat refreshing to see someone so plainly admit "Sorry, I fucked up, I was wrong. I know better now." I was expecting more bullshitty-tasting PR-written damage control.
Yes, it's nice that he's admitting he said the wrong thing (thanks to the Twitstorm), but let's not forgive him so quickly for showing us how management really thinks.
