Winklevoss Twins Answer Reddit Questions On Facebook, Zuckerberg

MENLO PARK, Calif. (CBS Sacramento)-- The Winklevoss twins answered questions through Reddit's "Ask Me Anything" regarding Facebook and their relationship with Mark Zuckerberg.

"We do not have a relationship with Mark. The last time we saw and spoke with Mark was at the settlement in 2008. And before that was back at Harvard," Tyler Winklevoss told Reddit.

Though the Winklevoss twins run in the same circles as the Facebook CEO, they say they have no relationship with him at the moment. Tyler also reflected on their past relationship with Zuckerberg and how events transpired.

"Hindsight's always 20/20, but it seemed like a lot of the things that happened were unnecessary and that there was a way for everyone to be happy and kind of win… hopefully we can all learn from that as we move forward and become better people."

And although things may not have worked out as ideally as the twins hoped, Tyler says they are still amazed and impressed at what the company has become.

"It's certainly quite an amazing company. I don't think any of us had any idea of how big it could actually be and I think the scariest thing is it's probably not done growing any time soon... We're really proud of the part we played, which we think was certainly material to getting it going. I think that Mark has certainly done an incredible job shepherding it and leading the company to what it is today," Tyler told Reddit.

Facebook currently has over 1.5 billion monthly active users, according to Statista.
