Illuminati was the name of an organization (1776-1785) founded by Adam Weishaupt, a Bavarian writer and philosopher, to oppose superstition, prejudice, religious influence over public life, abuses of state power, and to support women's education and gender equality. The organization eventually numbered about 2000 members throughout Europe.
One of the goals of the Illuminati was the overthrow of an oppressive monarchy and the control of civil authorities by the Roman Catholic Church. They were very unsuccessful in their endeavor because that monarch, Karl Theodor, Duke of Bavaria and Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, successfully destroyed the organization and imprisoned their leadership, which ended the existence of the Illuminati.
The only Illuminati that exists today is the invention of writers and bloggers who enjoy feeding the imaginations of paranoid and naive individuals.
The original Order of Illuminati was organized in 1776 in Bavaria to bring together a group of enlightened thinkers. In 1785, Duke Charles Theodore, ruler of Bavaria, outlawed secret organizations, which disbanded the Illuminati.
Any group claiming that name or anyone claiming to 'know' about a group or its members today is either gullible or selling magazines, books, or movies (or 'hits' on their website to show numbers to advertisers).
Today, Illuminati people are fictional characters.
Because people get bored with their mundane little lives. Becuase it is more fun to imaging big, bad, boogey men, who hide under the bed and want to only hurt you than to face reality. Because they are scared that they have no control over their lives, primarily because they do not choose to take control. Because of that last paradigm, they allow themselves to get caught in a trap of perceived vulnerability. People like this need to be protected, primarily from themselves.
They attend college, obtain a Ph. D in physics, and build a time machine to travel back to 1777 Ingolstad, Bavaria. They develop a friendship with the founder Adam Weishaupt, and hope he recruits them to join.
There could be a number of reasons. Some may be:
No, because the Illuminati doesn't exist.
Many people think that the Illuminati are entertainers. They are not.
While NASA is populated by very intelligent, educated people, and the Illuminati was alleged to have been populated by intelligent, educated people, that's where the similarities end. The Illuminati does not exist unlike NASA which does. So, no, NASA is not part of the Illuminati.
No, the illuminati are not real people don't need protecting from something that doesn't exist.
Lady Gaga is not an Illuminati. People kept calling her one and it made her laugh.
The Illuminati is the name given to made up groups of people who claimed to have special knowledge of things.
Dead ones. The last of the Illuminati died in the first half of the 19th century. The Illuminati ceased to exist near the end of the 18th century.
No one.
No, she is not in the Illuminati, though it is possible she has some beliefs that may be based on the Occult and what people perceive as Illuminati agendas.

Only fictional organizations or individuals are controlled by the Illuminati. Real people are controlled by their own imaginations.
No one. No one on the entire continent of Africa is Illuminati. For that matter, no one in Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Australia, Antarctica, or any other landmass on the planet is Illuminati. The Illuminati is the figment of the imaginations of people with very little grasp on reality.
