The NRO already confirmed they have flights booked with SpaceX. Plural, at least two.

The broadcast of the Launch was interupted after a few minutes due to secrecy. Nothing is known of the Cargo. But one can speculate since Ball Aerospace booked the Rocket and not the NRO directly. Ball Aerospace is working really Close with the NRO. And they are well known for their Expertise in Optical and Radar Satellite Surveillance and production. SpaceX got 100 Million Dollars for the Launch.

At least Elon Musk is now where he always wanted to be with SpaceX. Working for the Military Industrial Complex and getting a Piece of the real Cake.
After delivering the Secret Spy Satellite in Orbit the first Stage returned to Earth nicely:
