Alphabet, the parent of Google, is reported to have a stake in SpaceX that has grown from an early investment of about $900 million to a disclosed value of roughly $94.2 billion.
Both outlets describe the same origin and outcome: Alphabet’s bet on SpaceX in 2015 is cited as the starting point, and the current valuation is presented as a major increase in value. Economic Times adds that the stake makes Alphabet the largest institutional shareholder in SpaceX, while also noting that other prominent investors hold significant positions. NDTV focuses primarily on the scale of the return, framing it as about a 100-fold gain.
The accounts differ mainly in emphasis rather than facts: Economic Times situates Alphabet’s rise relative to other backers (including Fidelity Investments and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund), while NDTV centers the story on the magnitude of the windfall. Both present the disclosed valuation and the original investment as the key figures.
