SpaceX Veteran Board Member Donald Harrison Resigns

SpaceX disclosed in a regulatory filing submitted Friday that longtime board member Donald Harrison had resigned. According to Sina Finance, Harrison submitted notice of his resignation on November 4; the filing said he did not resign because of any disagreement with the company over its operations, policies, or business practices. Harrison was Google's president of corporate development. Google invested nearly $1 billion in SpaceX in 2015, and still holds a substantial stake in the company. Harrison was one of SpaceX's independent directors, a group responsible for evaluating a possible merger between SpaceX and Tesla, which CEO Elon Musk is pursuing. SpaceX's board now has five independent directors remaining.
