GDP is a bit trickier than that, and exports are much harder to fabricate. Printing money clearly has its limits even for the USD (they can see the inflation now and the limits of it).

Can't I just buy my revenue streams with my monopoly money, and would those than count as my exports?

You'll need to export to a certain country, as far as I understand it. What countries usually do, is that they'll lend with their monopoly money while limiting the debit countries to purchase from them.

You can think of that as export-boosting but not completely fake exports.

What i've seen frequently is US investors buying EU companies that hold promise. So later it is a 'US' company and the narrative stays 'EU is great at basic research, but they suck at bringing it to market', but how can you beat free money?
