In that case, CA would launch a counterattack into Southern NV/Northern AZ to capture the entire Hoover and Glen Canyon Dam infrastructure and all of the associated water distribution networks. That water is too important for Los Angeles and to bribe the central valley farmers to not revolt.

Basically New Vegas, but without the cool stuff

Maybe if Musk decides to double down on insisting it was actually a "Roman" salute it might literally just be New Vegas

That’s a reasonable fear for people of Arizona. If something goes sideways with the Hoover Dam, the rest of our watershed is gone. Phoenix depends on this water source. 

A few months without a steady flow of water equals five million residents exiting the state.
