What is that image supposed to add to the topic? What should we take away from what Musk supposedly said?

The screenshot is showing that the NPR Twitter account has been tagged as US state-affiliated media by Twitter. This is a tag generally reserved for (usually Russian and Chinese) government-controlled news orgs used specifically for propaganda purposes. The implication is that Musk likely gave his approval for NPR receiving this tag because Twitter would not have added it without his say-so.

It does, only 1% of funding, but it does.

Zang I think this is one of those times where you need to step away from the topic and take a breath, because you're definitely reading into things that aren't there and I can see you starting to lose your temper and spiraling into another purg/ban.

That isn't what Gerald was saying. All they were saying is that NPR does receive a very small amount of government funding, not that it was enough to qualify them as state-run media.

He's very definitively not trying to argue with you.

Like I said, step away from the topic and take a breath.
