What's the source for Apple, Mozilla (ok Facebook I'm less surprised) deploying Go?

Apple have posts for go jobs: http://www.golangprojects.com/golang-go-job-in-Senior-CDN-De...

There is also some conjecture that someone at Apple is writing a web scraper in Go: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8567205

Mozilla have a product called Heka written in Go: https://blog.mozilla.org/services/2013/04/30/introducing-hek...

Facebook have a load of open source libraries written in Go: https://github.com/facebookgo

Most prominent Mozilla Go usage is Heka ( https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka ).

I don't know about Apple, but knowing a number of folks in infra and ops there, and their tendencies, I do not doubt it is in use in places.
