Brian Acton, a cofounder of WhatsApp, has broken his silence about leaving Facebook three years after his company was acquired for $16 billion.
In an explosive interview with Forbes, Acton outlined tensions with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg about introducing ads into WhatsApp.
Acton recalled one meeting where Zuckerberg apparently told him, "This is probably the last time you’ll ever talk to me."
He said he never became close to the Facebook chief, despite leading the company’s most expensive acquisition.
