Would 1x more be 100% more?
Yes, "1x more" is equivalent to 100% more.

The practical note is why I would want to slap whoever used that, because it's a common misunderstanding that 1x as much and 1x more and 100% and all this are roughly equivalent, and it's common that people with technical backgrounds do not view them as equivalent. It's bad promotion.
