Not only do we know that they intend to send people into space in 2018, but we may soon know some of their names, as announced on the website:
"We are excited to announce that SpaceX has been approached to fly two private citizens on a trip around the Moon late next year. They have already paid a significant deposit to do a Moon mission." (dependent on health and fitness tests as well as some training)
"Designed from the beginning to carry humans, the Dragon spacecraft already has a long flight heritage. These missions [several cargo/crew planned missions this year and next] will build upon that heritage, extending it to deep space mission operations, an important milestone as we work towards our ultimate goal of transporting humans to Mars."
