Yes, the appreciation will accrue to the investor, in this case, Google (and every other shareholder). But it is not revenue for SpaceX, which is the error OP made.

I’m aware of the guidelines. Another guideline should be “check yourself for accuracy before you reach for the keyboard”—especially since it’s easier than ever. Giving false information that, if practiced and not disclaimed, could land someone in jail is irresponsible.

But the OP very clearly did not write anything of that sort. Their claim was:

> This deal increases SpaceX's revenue by $11 billion per year.

And that is pretty obviously correct. This deal is Google is buying a service from SpaceX for $920M/month, not investing in SpaceX. And that is revenue for SpaceX. I don't know why you're so insistent it isn't.
