Silicon Valley startup accelerator Y Combinator has cut ties with Peter Thiel,Romance Archives BuzzFeed reported.
The billionaire PayPal founder joined the accelerator as a part-time partner in 2015. Since then, he's become better-known outside the tech world for funding the lawsuit that took down Gawker and for his support of Donald Trump.

The blog post announcing Thiel's start at Y Combinator now bears an editor's note that says, "Peter Thiel is no longer affiliated with Y Combinator."
According to BuzzFeed, Y Combinator ended its part-time partner program entirely. But while other partners in that program remain affiliated with Y Combinator as "experts," Thiel's disassociation was complete.
