The image shown by wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element seems more complete and better laid out, and is also by cmglee (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Cmglee), based on data from Jennifer Johnson at Ohio State University (http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~jaj/nucleo/):

This table was also featured at Astronomy Picture Of the Day website (APOD for short) few days ago [1]. Judging by the tags in the tweet, author took it from there.

P.S. After the comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) is gone, pictures are again diverse and range from different fields of astronomy ;)

This article gives the more detailed explanation of the chart's data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleosynthesis

BTW, image search of nucleosynthesis gives about 10 different versions of this infographic, with fairly significant variation.

Also made in the similar ways as their surrounding elements, but generally don't stick around for long enough for anyone to really care.

The wikipedia entry is substantially different. The twitter version only labels 6 of 7 categories and what would appear to be multiple elements miscategorized.
