Google executive Donald Harrison resigned from SpaceX’s board effective Nov. 4, 2026, after serving since 2015. SpaceX said his departure was not prompted by a disagreement over its operations, policies or practices; Elon Musk said Harrison stepped down because of conflicts of interest involving Alphabet, Google’s parent. Alphabet remains a major SpaceX investor, while Harrison continues to lead Google’s global partnerships and corporate development.
