Thiel has not just backed Trump with money. He has very publicly endorsed him:

The only way that this could be anything less than a full support of the Trump platform, would be if Thiel had specifically rejected large chunks of the platform are bad, and he's not supporting them, but there's some things there in particular that he finds so important that they override all the bad stuff. In other words, the "lesser of two evils" endorsement, such as some Republicans have made for Clinton this year.

Thiel didn't do that. In his speech, the only reference to that was decrying the "fake culture wars".

Ergo, he fully supports not just Trump, but the entirety of the Trump platform.
