Employment is a contract. Apple broke that contract without reason from the individual.
If he resigned from another job and relocated, there are damages here that are quite easy to document.
Yes, employees are nominally "at-will", but employers don't get to just do anything they want without consequence--especially in California.
I'm surprised Apple did actually say anything beyond "We have terminated his employment. No further comment." as they're on terrible ground here.
Finally, unlike most small fry, he's not going to have any trouble finding a lawyer for this. Lawyers will happily take this obvious a case on retainer. And, he's got lots of "wokeness crusade" lawyers who will be salivating over this case.
