Then you calculate poorly. If an object increases in one dimension while retaining the same proportions, then it increases by that amount in every dimension. For area, this means it is increased by the square of the increase in height. For volume (which is what matters here), it increases by the cube of the degree of increase in height. Godzilla needs the ability to be neautrally-bouyant in water in order for him to swim as it does, so density must remain the same.

100,000/10,000 = 10

Extrapolating from this (I'll spare you the math), a Godzilla of 100,000 tons with the same properties of a Godzilla of 10,000 tons will be a grand total of just under 108m tall.

If we work in the opposite direction to determine his mass based on his increase in height, then it would be around 2,160,000 tons, which is over 21 times what he is stated to be.

Assumign all given statistics about this Godzilla are correct rather than oversights, I have a logical solution. In order to compensate for its extreme size while also maintaining the ability to be neutrally-bouyant and continue to swim, this Godzilla's body developed large, hollow cavities that can be filled with water to behave as a swim bladder would.

Granted, that would mean that this Godzilla is 95% empty air, so we will just assume that the 10,000 ton, 50m Godzilla has full swim bladders and the 100,000 ton, 300m Godzilla is a dry-weight measurement.
