Zuck seems to claim that meta does not have ANY access to encrypted messages on whatsapp

Refer the latest podacast with Joe Rogan. We know that encryption protects the messages in transit, i.e. provides extra layer of security in transit in addition to HTTPS. However I am surprised to hear that the messages encrypted at rest in DB (per his claim) are not accessible to the developers. This would mean the developers cannot query the DB and get the messages in plain text. Can this be true or is this true, can anyone verify here?
