The $10 million he's reportedly receiving in severance pay must soften the blow, but I can't help but assume ex-Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger must surely feel the sting of Intel's current situation and all reporting of its dire straits. The company is, after all, one he guided on a new journey towards increasing reliance on chip fabrication.
It therefore wouldn't surprise me if Gelsinger's recent comments on X (via Hot Hardware) regarding fabrication yields, while ostensibly about TSMC yields, were actually in part directed as a response to recent chatter about low Intel 18A yields.
