There's a reason things like consumer protection agencies should exist. Most are too stupid and easily taken advantage of. You cannot run a society like that well. SpaceX already raised their funds and the bag holders are regular people. That is bad for society even if we may like to point and laugh at the morons.

There is a reason you shouldn't trade individual stocks if you're unwilling to research a bit at least. If you trade individual stocks without it it becomes basically gambling. I'm not laughing at the ordinary people losing money, but I also don't feel very bad for them in particular.
