To me it’s clear that he’s speaking to gouging, not the inflation, eg “back down in accordance with the lowering of the rate of directionally positive inflation”. This implies they have evidence that some companies have raised prices above and beyond inflation to make a quick buck in the frenzy. They should provide that evidence.

Agree. But it’s just another limp dick “bidenomics” push to make people think that government fiat policies aren’t to blame for the real economic pain people are feeling right now; instead the problem is those evil capitalists trying to take advantage.
The community note points out that inflation is still inflation even if it’s not hyperinflation. I love to see the failed fiat monetary system recognized for what it is.
These ideas are becoming mainstream thanks to #bitcoin ethos.
We can’t give them an inch, as Milei would say.
