You need to look at velocity of money in conjunction with the money supply to get the true picture: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V

The tweet you linked leaves out half the story, which is that money velocity is down greatly, thus the increase in money supply hasn’t caused rapid inflation.

The Fed sells its assets to decrease the USD supply and raises rates. My best guess is a short period of higher inflation and then a correction, but who knows.

Hopefully people spend their money and corporations invest their money to meet the demand.
