As an EA and a Christian… I find Thiel’s apparent views and actions to me resemble what the Bible says an Antichrist is, more than EA by far. He is hypocritically calling EA totalitarian while simultaneously, deeply supporting what amounts to technofascism in the U.S.
It is bizarre to me how unchristian his version of libertarianism is, with what seems like a complete indifference, if not utter disdain, towards the poor and downtrodden who Jesus sought to help. Thiel seems to be so far from the spirit of Christian values (at least as I understand them) that I have a hard time imagining what could be further from it.
I could go on, but people like this, who call themselves Christian and yet appear to be the polar opposite of what a good Christian ought to be (again, in my opinion) infuriate me to the point that I have trouble expressing things without getting angry, so I’ll stop here.
Yes, Thiel has returned to supporting Trump more fully since the election. Many presume it’s because of lucrative contracts with Palantir conducting surveillance and data collection for US government. Best summary I could find on short notice.

Does Thiel support Trump? I know he did… then he didn’t… unsure where he is now that Trump is back in power again.

Depends exactly what you mean by support but JD vance is deeply connected to Thiel.
