    How many billionaires could they possibly be in California? I feel like their names could fit on the bill neatly.

      ~250, depending on source

    Will this force billionaires to move out of state? Then take the tech and jobs with them?

      They already are moving out, and moving their business headquarters with them. The population has been declining for years, but considering how far behind the state is on approving housing construction, and the declining refinery and power generation capacity, it'll take many decades before it becomes affordable.
