I think people here might be missing something... I think it's pretty clear to say the person was not fired for this, but this was used as the reason for sacking. What baffles me is the precedence, the signalling, that sacking person for something like this is not just a dark joke.

From the article: >In the early morning phone call, an Apple executive told him that he had to get the video removed immediately. >Mr. Blevins, 55 years old, said he stayed up all night trying to contact the TikToker I mean, they told him that this is why he was being fired. He thought that is why he was being fired, all the evidence points to that. How is it pretty clear that he was NOT fired for the video??

  The main argument is that it doesn't seem plausible. As in "they can't be this crazy". Maybe they are, but a lot of commenters seem to have had experiences making the "they already wanted him gone" scenario seem more likely. Of course he's going to exploit this given reason even if he doesn't believe it either because it's the best way to get attention and even fame. Quite a few people have become prominent alt-right figures after such situations.
