Speaking at a campaign convention on Sunday, Biejat declared: "I am the only one who is not afraid to say 'stop.'"
She added that neither Musk nor Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg should have the power to dictate democracy.
She specifically targeted Musk, the owner of the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), accusing him of undermining European democracy.
“The world’s richest man, a member of Donald Trump’s administration, openly opposes European democracy and does not hide his far-right views,” she said.
She further alleged that Musk has used social media as a tool to manipulate European public debate and election processes.
Biejat, who is running in Poland’s upcoming presidential election, used her speech to outline her key campaign priorities. She described herself as a patriot and stated that her primary duty was to protect Poland’s national interest rather than “curry favor with the powerful of this world.”
One of her central policy points is continued support for Ukraine.
She rejected any notion of Eastern Europe falling under Russian influence, insisting that Poland’s security must not be part of negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
She also positioned herself against aligning too closely with former U.S. President Donald Trump, stating: “Servile tributes to Trump do not work—Polish politicians need to understand this.”
Biejat argued that Poland and its neighbors should play a leading role in shaping European geopolitics.
She called for greater influence on European Union policies regarding security, energy, digital technology, the labor market, migration and climate issues.
The candidate also highlighted economic and social concerns, pledging to lower energy prices while maintaining climate goals. She criticized Western corporations for violating workers’ rights and called for stronger protections against foreign tech companies interfering in national affairs.
Biejat called for new European regulations to counter these threats, noting that Poland’s Ministry of Digital Affairs, under Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski, is currently developing a strategy to safeguard elections from digital interference.
Her campaign slogan, unveiled at the event, is “We have more in common.”
