Is EVERYONE in California politics a complete and utter moron?
Yes and it's not like they're straddling the line between moronic and competent. They're way over on the moron side

So they're doing this to try and earn money? Wouldn't this cost a ridiculous amount of money?

For the license plate you would need some sort of screen, an accelerometer to tell if it's moving or not, a small computer to process the information, as well as a radio of some sort to update the ads. Seems like it would cost a ridiculous amount to switch all of California to this...

Not to mention the overall stupidity of the idea in the first place.

Which have much greater tax revenue-producing potential.

Makes a better case for registering your D/L and cars in Nevada. They don't charge "use tax" on private party used car sales.
