Google's Man on SpaceX's Board Just Quit After 11 Years

Impact · against what's priced in

The resignation of Donald Harrison is a marginal negative for Alphabet and SpaceX, as it removes a governance link without altering the underlying financial commitments. While it eliminates a potential conflict of interest regarding the $920 million monthly contract, it provides no new catalyst to address the capital expenditure or margin concerns already weighing on both stocks.
