SpaceX director Donald Harrison resigns after Republican midterm defeat

The timing is the story here: a board departure disclosed without a stated reason, immediately after a national electoral shift, invites speculation the item itself does not support. What matters is board governance at a company of SpaceX's profile, where composition changes can signal internal recalibration or simply routine turnover, and the material gives no basis for distinguishing the two. The open question is whether further board changes follow, and whether any explanation for the resignation is offered later.
