1000 X 1m = 1b

Sesame Street taught me that as a kid

This is correct: a billion = 1,000 million. The current Wikipedia article in English states this clearly. In current usage, one million million = trillion.

I think he was trying to make a joke about the fact that in the longer scale that many countries use (like we in Germany) after a million comes Milliarde and then billion. So your trillion is our billion.

Milliard and billiard are stupid, archaic units that belong with inches, pounds, and all the other archaic English units.
