I think the same, therefore I am I?

Some extra context for the curious: https://pdf.stafforini.com/parfit-1995-unimportance-identity.pdf
IF the teleporter didn't destroy your original body: Would the 'clone' still be you? Would you exist twice?
I just got two comments asking this and dont want to spam the thread with duplicate answers, so see the reply I gave NekoKoneko
There would be two "yous" from a past perspective. From a future perspective, only the one that is you would be you.
It's the same as a multiverse view, where every decision makes a split. Every branch going forward is you, but only the branch you're on is you.
Who you are changes over time. Everything that happened in the past is still part of you, but only things that happen to you are you.
Yeah this is the correct question (answer?)
