Is it still “tone deaf” if they know exactly what they’re saying?
Yeah, tone deaf isn’t the right word. Overtly evil and stupid is probably the phrase they were looking for.

I could easily see an out of touch rich person thinking of it only as a thing that goes along with rich people, (and not realize the actual meaning).
Like the rich person equivalent of “live laugh love” and “it’s wine o’clock”?
By the way if anybody has any of those on their walls, I hate you and you deserve death.
