If I have 1 dollar, and you have 10 times more, would you have 10 or 11 dollars?
Because if you have 10 times more, is it plus the original dollar?

10 x 1 = 1. The question may seem complex but ten times more is ten times what I have which is one therefore the answer is 10

Multiply, don't add ok?
It's 10
10 x 1 = 10
Whenever you say # times a #, it means to multiply. Those numbers you listed, 1 and 10 multiplied together is 10. I don't see why anyone would disagree with that.

The wording is ambiguous.
"10 times what I have" is $10
"10 times more" means $10 + $1 = $11.

English is imprecise where mathematics aims to be precise. It is unclear what "10 times more" means. Colloquially, if you wanted to say someone had $10 and you only had $1, you might say, "she has 10 times more", but that could be misinterpreted as $11 mathematically. To be more precise, you should say, "she has 10 times *as much as*..."
Mathematically, we would think of "10 times more" as taking 10 times the original and adding it. So that is essentially *11* times the original amount. But I think someone saying "10 times more" is just misspeaking and intending to mean "10 times as much as".
In other words, I would avoid saying "10 times more" and be explicit by either saying "10 times as much" or "11 times as much".

Excellent question. I've always thought that "10 times MORE" should refer to "11 times AS MUCH", but sadly most people seem to use "times more" and "times as much" interchangeably.
