IIRC that chart only shows US Government investment / spending. A lot of other countries, such as South Korea, are spending on this and even here in the United States large sums are being spent on it by Venture Capitalists.
The "actual funding" line is wildly out of date since there's several Fusion Companies that have spent more than that each in the past few years.
