Does no one understand the Constitution anymore? For this to happen, the state legislature must approve it (the people can vote all they want, it means nothing). Then Congress has to agree to it also. Without all that, it will never happen. And I have absolutely no doubt that Congress won’t agree to giving California 6 times as many senators as it now has.
