I don't want to put words in your mouth and would be happy to hear more of what exactly you disagree with in these quotes. Nevertheless, here's my take:

>> Discrimination to reach equal representation is unfair, divisive, and bad for business.

> He's telling this to a $650B company.

I assume your reaction is towards the "bad for business" and I agree, without any supporting evidence he is not qualified to tell google what is right.

> And then just to cover for himself, he says:

>> I strongly believe in gender and racial diversity, and I think we should strive for more.

I assume you see a conflict between striving for diversity / equal representation and opposing positive discrimination ("Discrimination to reach equal representation").

Looking at the context of the quote I think his argument is consistent though: Assuming biological differences account for a part of the representation gap, it is unfair to use positive discrimination to reach 50/50 representation. At what ratio fair representation lies depends on how much the biological differences explain for and as long as we don't know that, we don't know how much positive discrimination is fair.

>> Differences in distributions of traits between men and women may in part explain why we don’t have 50% representation of women in tech and leadership. Discrimination to reach equal representation is unfair, divisive, and bad for business.

I don't think I understand your pov enough to answer quote 3 and 4 but would be happy to see you expand your opinion on them a little.
