While I have seen several people accept two offers and then no-show to one in the first day, it’s not the safest thing to do. At the end of the day, the employee controls the capital and most of employment law. That lets any negative sentiment carry a lot of weight. Make sure there’s a clear and understood story; don’t ghost.

Employers have in fact lobbied hard for laws that make this possible in the first place. They want all the benefits of at will employment, so there's no reason why they shouldn't also be on the receiving end of it.
Is California at-will?
49/50 states in the US (all except Montana) are at-will.
What is Montana if not at-will? at-king-doth-give-you-thou-shalt-command?
It just means that there's an initial probationary period where the employment is at-will, and beyond that point the employer must have a reasonable cause to terminate the employee. I'm not at all familiar with Montana labor laws in practice, but I find it very difficult to believe that it makes much of a difference.
Wow, nice. I thought it was mostly just the south.

"At Will" and "Right To Work" are different things, but often confused as being the same thing.
Right To Work states are indeed mostly in the South.
