Diamond took to social media to say it is a waste of taxpayer dollars.
“From all of us in Jacksonville, thank you for choosing our city. We look forward to welcoming you again soon,” Deegan’s hologram tells JAX airport visitors.
It’s a high-tech welcome that’s being delivered in a variety of languages.

The 7-foot display greets travelers near baggage claim. Diamond posted a series of videos to X with the display, which he called “#HoloDonna.”
Diamond said he had been asking questions of the interactive display.
“I’ve been asking why we can’t pick up the trash and fill the potholes in Jacksonville instead of spending money on $30,000 Holodonna,” he said in one of the videos.
