On March 11, Twitter ordered all employees to work from home, in what I believe was the first complete office closure. (Other companies had closed specific Seattle offices earlier in the month, but I don't know if that counts.)

I feel that's a gross misrepresentation of the statement. Essentially his point was that high-risk population (read older people with “serious underlying conditions.”) should go to extreme steps to avoid contracting the disease, but those who are not then could go on with their lives.
If that wasn't clear by itself, the very same article you posted includes this quote from Fauci stated in the prior day:
> Yesterday, Fauci told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, “Elderly with underlying conditions, heart disease, chronic lung disease, diabetes (should) not wait, but right now, to sort of take look at things that are at high risk, crowded places, getting on airplanes, and absolutely don’t get on a cruise ship.”
The point stands. Tech companies decided that their (overwhelmingly young and healthy) workforce should not, in fact, go on with their lives. They were sacrificing work when Fauci thought sacrificing even leisure was premature.
Regardless, your point of "in hindsight, a certain expert was wrong in one specific instance" == "no experts can ever be trusted" is a much too sweeping generalization. Same as the assertion that "tech" got things right consistently. Didn't Tesla drag its heels for a very long time?
