This sort of baseless speculation is not fruitful IMO. But I'll participate with my own hunch.

I don't think this is the case. The letter comes off as very genuine. It very much feels like what a immature "tech bro" would write. So much so when I first read it, I only skimmed it because it was so drab. You could have been at a bar surrounded by a bunch of drunk tech employees and heard very much the same thing. I only read it in entirety after the buzz got to loud to ignore.

Also I don't think there's a good chance he'll win a discrimination case against Google.
