Well, it's up to Google who they employ, and this guy was an at-will employee.
It's none of my business who they fire or who he works for.
That being said, I read the paper and it's rather uncontroversial:

I hope it’s clear that I'm not saying that diversity is bad, that Google or society is 100% fair, that
we shouldn't try to correct for existing biases, or that minorities have the same experience of
those in the majority. My larger point is that we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that
don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender
roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another
member of their group (tribalism).
Upon reading the entirety of the article, I really don't see much in it that is really a big deal. But, he called his employer an ideological echo chamber and criticized the people with the power to discipline him, and he criticized company policy. He did so publicly. So, he had to know he was playing with fire. My guess is he really had had it with Google already and didn't care if he got fired. Maybe he wanted to make a big splash, and figured some conservative leaning managers or business owners somewhere would offer to hire him.
Google has turned into a douchey left-wing progressive echo chamber. He's rather right about that, it seems to me. But, calling your employer that is going to get you identified as a problem employee. Problem employees get fired.
Fuck google. They're full of shit anyway. They could hire all the female computer engineers they want. Go do it, and train the ones that need training. This is all window dressing.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
