That's not a true statement. 2∞ < ∞ and ∞ < 2∞ is how you'd write it.

Otherwise you could subtract infinity from both sides and get 0 = ∞.

Not true. 2∞ is not bigger or smaller than ∞. This is explained by Hilbert's hotel. And subtracting infinity from infinity is undefined so you do not get 0 = ∞.
