regardless of a cost efficient method is it possible?

it says 2020
that means they're trying to make a cost efficient method
lets say i had billions of dollars ans went to them and was willing to pay a lot
are they able to create new hair right now?

not possible.
They need to find a way for mass culturing epithelium stem cells. Without this, they won't be able to produce large no. hair follicle germs.
If solved, they can even start clinical trails right now and may put their tech. to commercial use in market by 2020. (that's not likely to happen though given the complexity of this scientific problem).
They have all the money they require as they are backed by Riken and Kyocera. So, money is not the issue here.
yes, it should work. They are basically producing hair follicle from the scratch and they succeeded in doing so but they have to find a way for mass production.

if they can make a few whats stoping them to repeat that process even though it might be expensive

and

they need two stem cells for the production of hair follicle germ, Epithelium and Mesenchymal stem cells.
These two cells interact to form hair follicle.
So, they need mass production of both the cells. They have dealt with Mesenchymal cells but there's a problem with Epithelium stem cells, they lose their gene expression with each passages making it difficult to produce large no. hair follicles.
There is a good chance this will be solved.

Lol.
Many hair loss sufferers don't have the slightest clue about the possibilities of hair cloning. I've heard several times in recent years, people losing their hair speaking of thinking to use "Some pill that stops hair loss, I think it's called propecia". But the way they say it, they sound amazed at the pill, like they just discovered it. A pill from the 80-90s(?) is still being discovered today by millions of people.
So you can only imagine hair cloning to the majority of people, they will think you are talking about a sci-fi movie you just watched.

Also trending news on social media will never be "Scientists on the verge of hair cloning by 2020" or "CRISPRS - gene editing coming soon!"
It will be:
Kanye West has meltdown
Donald Trump did or said something
Someone famous died
Two music artists are having issues with eachother
A sports team beat another sports team
Terrorist attack
Some other political thing
A famous woman is pregnant with a famous man's baby
NASA's discovery of 7 exoplanets are one of the few social media trends of something big in science.
People will always be more informed about pop culture than they will be informed about incoming scientific breakthroughs.

even if they do post some news about possible hair loss cure, it will be ridiculed like hell.

No offence.
Cure is around in maybe 5, maybe 20 years. Until then you best go with the proven things, big 3, or ru.

they will take a small biopsy which will consist of only 10-15 follicles and they can produce infinite no. of hair follicle germs via stem cell multiplication.
hence, they don't even require FUE, only a small negligible portion of the back and that's all.
that's the beauty of it.

I mean, if after 2-3 culturing passages (what i think means x2-3 multiplication) cells are ok for growing hair why not to use more than 15-20 follicules to multiply them. Even x3 is great for low Norwoods.
