I wouldn’t trust google.
Almost 10 years ago I made sure every browser on every computing device in my household did NOT use Google as a default search engine. The James Damore incident is what pushed me over the edge, their search engine had been going downhill for years, for me.

Grok:
Yes, Google (Alphabet) invested around $1 billion in SpaceX in 2015.
Google, together with Fidelity Investments, participated in a ~$1 billion funding round for SpaceX (sometimes reported as Google's portion being ~$900 million). This was at a roughly $10–12 billion valuation for SpaceX, giving the two investors a combined stake of around 10% (or slightly under) at the time.
Current Ownership Percentage
As of the most recent public disclosures (from a 2026 Alaska regulatory filing covering the end of 2025), Google/Alphabet holds approximately 6.11% of SpaceX.
This stake has been diluted over time due to subsequent funding rounds and other events (e.g., some reports mention further dilution to ~5% after a SpaceX-xAI merger).
Estimates vary slightly across sources (often in the 6–7.5% range depending on the exact date and assumptions), but the 6.11% figure comes from official filings.
This investment has been highly successful for Alphabet, with the stake now potentially worth tens to over $100 billion depending on SpaceX’s valuation (which has been estimated in the hundreds of billions to trillions in various reports). Note that SpaceX remains privately held, so exact ownership can shift with new rounds or events.
