He has a right to his opinion, but the company has the right to take action based on those opinions. Free speech only applies to whether the government censors you, not what private entities do. Nobody has prevented him from saying what he wants, but he has to put his money where his mouth is and face the consequences of his speech, which can include being considered a security risk, having the company fire him for not wanting to appear that he represents their opinion, etc.
