In the post shared by Musk, the account lamented the presence of humanitarian groups in the Mediterranean Sea that rescue migrants from distressed vessels.

"These NGOs are subsidized by the German government," the account posted. "Let's hope AfD wins the elections to stop this European suicide."

Wait, Bernd is a real name‽‽ I thought it was just a joke. "Bernd das brot" und das Kika Lounge, was the first time I ran into the name, and it sounds to an English speaker, like myself, like "Burned the Bread"

Short form of Bernhard, "brave/hardy bear". As such it's "Bernie the Bread".
