Interesting that there is no mention of demographics. Hispanics account for almost 40% of the population, close to 80% of which are Mexican. Following secession and taking history into account, there is reason to speculate that California could become the subject of Mexican annexation, or at the very least, subject to turmoil that could arise from stoking such sentiments among a very sizable chunk of the population, most of which is not associated with tech. Furthermore, secession, if it is to be meaningful, would make a geopolitical impact that would arguably be good for neither California nor the rest of the US (nor the world for that matter; with a weakened US, worse things can fill the vacuum). What I could see is something more in line with right-leaning thought i.e. greater autonomy of the states and greater decentralization of power. (On a somewhat humorous note: if Putin is spurring Calexit movements, then it sounds to me like a perversion of Pilsudski's Prometheism[0], except that Pilsudski was motivated by a desire to neutralize the threat that Russia posed.)
