According to the WSJ "free preview" of the article, Elon has pledged up to another $100 million.

Does anyone know if this made the print edition today?

Well it might have to start paying off for him sooner rather than later. He's listed as worth 500m apparently, and that'll make it 350m on SpaceX?

I thought he'd only spent around $100 million so far, at least as of late last year. Does WSJ say otherwise?

New article on SpaceX in Rocky Mountain News, but not a shred of new info there.

Looks like the quotes from our lawsuit coverage are making the rounds there though, if not presented in quite the depth required.
