The math ain’t mathing here. If that were true, in one hour the earth would be 80,000 km away from the ISS. I looked it up and everything you said is true, but something must be lost in translation
It’s because those are relative speeds. The ISS speed is relative to the position of the earth. For the earth’s speed, I’d venture to guess it’s measuring the speed relative to either the sun or the galactic center.

The iss speed is relative to earth. The earth speed is probably relative to the sun. There’s no common frame of reference between the two numbers.

The guy managed to connect button presses to letters to chain of thoughts it’s fair to assume he was being sarcastic.
