The resignation comes as Alphabet remains SpaceX's largest institutional investor, holding a stake reportedly worth $74 billion, and as Google pays SpaceX's AI unit up to $920 million monthly for data center compute capacity. Google's statement affirming continued support suggests the business relationship is intended to persist despite the board change, though the reason for Harrison's exit remains unexplained.
