There's no reason why it can't be both. Why not just make a fun little Twitter post if that's how the ceo feels instead of declaring it for the whole company? Their profits made a massive spike as anyone who knows the power of bigotry could have easily predicted. The CEO is still a businessman and I find it hard to believe that anything like this could be genuine and lack an ulterior motive.
