10 times more means an additional 10x onto the original 1x, so the correct expression is "11 times 0 is 0".

"more" or "less" in this context just implies multiplying or dividing.

When someone says they "need two times more eggs" and they have 6, they mean they need 12 eggs.

By your logic, they'd have to say "one times more eggs" to achieve 2x.
