"What shall we call our super cool clandestine lobbying group?"
"I'unno, let's name it after a royal family that was so absurdly inbred that it went extinct, and lent it's name to a related medical condition"
The Habsburgs are very much still alive and well, and they didn't lose power due to going 'extinct' from inbreeding, they lost it to a minor historical event known as World War One.
Now they just drive racecars and advocate for the Paneuropean Union.
Didn't the House of Habsburg proper die out, and then get succeeded by a couple of other houses that took the Habsburg name?
The Habsburgs were so spread-out throughout all European royal and high-nobility families through expert use of political marriages and an unusually strong loyalty to the family which meant it's pretty much impossible for it to die out 'cause some duke of wherever would always be there to take the throne as legitimate family heir.
Either way, isn't this like half way to Mueller filing an indictment naming the Illuminati?
Monday morning has Mueller filing an indictment against members of Majestic 12. Tuesday he is filing a subpoena against a Gray alien and a lizardman.
Finally! Hillary will pay for her crimes!!!!!
You could technically say it died out, if only because Charles IV didn't have a male heir, with Maria Theresia becoming Archduchess and Empress. The Habsburgs after her are technically the Habsburg-Lorraine, since Maria married Francis Stephen of Lorraine, and with succession based on an agnatic-cognatic primogeniture basis, her eldest son Joseph II was foremost seen as a member of her husband's house.
But even if that is their formal house name, no one really exactly cared since he was still the son of Maria Theresia, so they were still just referred to as the Habsburgs. Everything else Riller said applies too. Cadet branches are fascinating, innit?
I think you mean Zuckerberg has finally been caught, uh, "green handed"
IIRC their Spanish Line did.

Behold, a prime specimen of the name Hapsburg
Lol these names weren't actually supposed to be released. The unredacted form of the document was accidentally published online for 17 minutes.
Some people blamed Mueller for the error and said he fucked up, but today the judge clarified that it was the court's error and nothing to do with either party in the case
