what happened
SpaceX disclosed on Friday that Donald Harrison, a longtime Google executive, has resigned from the company's board after serving more than ten years. According to the company, Harrison notified SpaceX of his decision on November 4, and the resignation took effect immediately. SpaceX said the move was not the result of any disagreement over its operations, policies or practices.
Harrison currently serves as president of Global Partnerships and Corporate Development at Google.
why it matters
Alphabet remains the largest single institutional holder of SpaceX, according to LSEG data. On Friday, Google reported a small increase in its position to about 555 million shares, up from 551.2 million earlier. On its own, a board change like this looks routine and is unlikely to move markets, though the larger stake from a major shareholder signals Google's continued interest in the company.
