Membership in the Business Roundtable

Lisa Su is a member of the Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs from major U.S. companies that promotes public policy favorable to business interests.

Notes: The Business Roundtable often takes stances on immigration and trade that conflict with MAGA populism, but it is a mainstream institutional body.

Agent rationale

Membership in the Business Roundtable signifies alignment with the 'corporate establishment,' which has a complex, often strained relationship with the MAGA movement's populist elements.

AMD PAC Contributions to Bipartisan Candidates

Under Su's leadership, the Advanced Micro Devices Inc. PAC has distributed funds to both Republican and Democratic candidates. In the 2022-2024 cycles, donations were split among various congressional leaders on committees relevant to tech and trade.

Notes: Corporate PACs typically donate to incumbents on both sides to maintain access.

Agent rationale

The lack of a heavy tilt toward MAGA-aligned candidates or the Trump campaign suggests a standard corporate 'neutral' approach to political influence.

Appointment to President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST)

In 2021, Lisa Su was appointed by President Joe Biden to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), a group tasked with making policy recommendations on science, technology, and innovation.

Notes: This is a non-partisan advisory role under the Biden administration.

Agent rationale

Serving in a formal advisory capacity for the current administration indicates a willingness to collaborate with the executive branch on institutional tech policy, which is generally viewed as a neutral-to-institutionalist signal rather than a partisan MAGA signal.

Response to Social Justice Issues (2020)

Following the death of George Floyd in 2020, Su issued statements supporting social justice and committed AMD to increasing its focus on racial equity within the company and the tech industry.

Notes: Many CEOs issued similar statements during this period.

Agent rationale

While common among Fortune 500 CEOs, these statements align with social progressivism that is generally opposed by the MAGA movement's cultural platform.
