He is talking about Falcon 1, not CCDev. There was no close call at CCDev, nor any grant money for Falcon 1.

Thanks for the correction/clarification.

Still, I would be surprised if SpaceX did not greatly benefit from knowledge gained in Falcon 1 development when building their Falcon 9 rocket and then optimizing it for reusability — they started development of Falcon 9 while Falcon 1 was still operating.
