SpaceX Board Member Don Harrison Resigns
· Business · CNBC, Reuters
SpaceX confirmed that Google executive Don Harrison has resigned from its board of directors, a move disclosed in a regulatory filing. Harrison, who has served at Google since 2005 and leads global partnerships and corporate development, stated his departure was not due to any operational disagreement. Alphabet, Google's parent, holds a $74 billion stake in SpaceX, making it the largest institutional investor in the rocket maker. The resignation follows SpaceX's historic IPO earlier this year and its current $1.8 trillion market cap. Google reiterated its continued support for SpaceX's mission and partnership amid the leadership change.
