Japan’s DX Minister wants to ‘closely follow’ Musk’s DOGE department for ideas

Japan's new minister for digital transformation, Masaaki Taira, has expressed interest in the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the US, led by Elon Musk. Taira stated that Japan's government would like to incorporate ideas from the initiative into the Japanese state's operations. Taira's remarks have received mixed responses, with some seeing it as a potential insult, given Japan's economic challenges and Taira's own controversy surrounding alleged illegitimate political donations. However, others support Taira's plan and hope for positive change, even if inspired by foreign sources.
