Nov 6 (Reuters) - SpaceX ⁠disclosed on Friday that Google executive ⁠Donald Harrison has resigned from the rockets-to-AI ‌company's board after more than a decade.

Here are some details:

• Harrison notified SpaceX of his resignation on ​November 4, and it took ⁠effect immediately

• The ⁠Elon Musk-led company said Harrison's decision to resign ⁠was not ‌due to any disagreement with the company on matters relating to ⁠its operations, policies or practices

• Harrison, ​a longtime ‌executive at Google, is currently president of ⁠Global Partnerships ​and Corporate Development. Google parent Alphabet is the largest single institutional holder of SpaceX, according ⁠to LSEG data

• Musk said ​that Harrison stepped down because there were too many conflicts of interest with Alphabet. "Don has ⁠been a great board member. Very much appreciate his contributions," Musk added in a post on X on Friday.

• Google on Friday ​reported a small increase ⁠in its position in SpaceX to about 555 ​million shares from 551.2 ‌million earlier
