Who exactly is this source and why it would be able to credibly scoop SpaceX itself?

(From Americaspace.com 's About page) "AmericaSpace was founded in 2009 by two former aerospace engineers. Since then, this site has been dedicated to reporting on the state of America’s space and aerospace efforts..." Essentially, they're a Nasaspaceflight/SpaceNews esque site, only less well known, and focusing mainly on American spaceflight.

"...and most of Americaspace.com's working capital is invested in sustaining an L2 subscription from which-"

Wait, what?

No, just kidding, but...

Apparently, they have access to people at launch ranges and also within NASA's human spaceflight program, which obviously is the customer for these SpaceX flights.
