Google Exec Resigns from SpaceX Board

Donald Harrison, a longtime Google executive, has resigned from SpaceX's board of directors.

SpaceX announced on Friday that Donald Harrison, who has served as Google's president of global partnerships and corporate development since 2005, has stepped down from the company's board. The move was not attributed to any disagreement with SpaceX's operations or policies. The company expressed gratitude for Harrison's contributions and service. This follows SpaceX's recent public listing, which marked the largest IPO in history. Alphabet, Google's parent company, remains a major investor in SpaceX, holding a stake valued at $74 billion. The two companies have a strong partnership, with Google being a key client of SpaceX's AI division. Alphabet has committed to paying SpaceX up to $920 million monthly for cloud computing services. Additionally, the two firms recently collaborated on Project Suncatcher, which launched Google AI chips into orbit.
