Well, as above, he did say "choose an idea that avoids competition at all costs" and joined YC thus avoiding competition by joining.
PG's "don't worry about competition at all" rings true by bringing Thiel in and allowing a competitor in a way see how a top performing product runs on the inside.
Who says Thiel isn't just gaining more knowledge to start another one later, then YC and Thiel can have a federation.

Not all incubators/accelerators are targeting the same demographics. Thiel could create one that is completely orthogonal to what YC is doing as of today.
