Anyone know if the satellite owner took out pre-launch and transit insurance? That's a separate insurance cover from launch insurance. Satellite launch insurance starts at normal ignition and usually ends with the satellite in the desired orbit.[1]

This is false. Pre-launch accidents are covered by marine cargo insurance.

Elon was talking of SpaceX's insurance. Read: SpaceX won't be recovering the cost of the launch vehicle or the payload.

Spacecomm likely has their own insurance. Hopefully more details on this will emerge.
