Let $G$ be a **linear** algebraic group defined over some algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ and also over some subfield $k\subset \mathbb{K}$. There is thus a natural group structure on the set of $k$-points of $G$. It seems impossible to me that this group is cyclic and infinite. Is this true? EDIT: user48841 explained that this happens with elliptic curves. I am in fact interested in **linear algebraic groups**.
