When a rich person has a wildly stupid idea, they can try it out, and somehow be even richer when it fails spectacularly (see Metaverse, Cybertruck, etc), but when I have a wildly stupid idea, and try it out and it fails, I can’t afford to have teeth anymore.

That's because only the rich are allowed to innovate, and even if their innovation fails spectacularly, they have enough power to blindfold the public essentially making it appear as a success (e.g: AI).
