On: Facebook’s exec calls WhatsApp co-founder a ‘new standard of low-class’

> I find attacking the people and company that made you a billionaire, and went to an unprecedented extent to shield and accommodate you for years, low-class,

Facebook didn't make him a billionaire. He & co. made a 19 billion dollar business. Anything after that, facebook can take credit for. But everything right up to the contract signing/announcement can't be attributed to them.

Well, they are the ones who paid him thus it fits. Until you have a real customer, your product valuation is theoretical... even if your product is a company.

The troubling sentiment in my opinion is that you can't be critical of the people who pay you a lot of money.

I do agree. Just because someone is your customer, does not mean they are without fault.
