whats the good word

Ok so im working on this stage 2 but i seem to have encountered a few factual issues. So that'll take some time. In the meanwhile, here's something to keep you busy.... The suffix X derives from a certain 1970s event in the United States. The suffix is used to embellish a noun or name to suggest the existence of a far-reaching scandal, particularly in politics and government.The suffix may also "suggest unethical behaviour and a cover-up". Such usages have been criticised by commentators as clichéd and misleading. The adoption of X to suggest the existence of a scandal was promoted by William Safire, the conservative New York Times columnist and former Nixon administration speechwriter. Id X. brownie points for getting the event.

Boom Boom Boom.

X is an MIT alumnus. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and later a PhD on the same. After graduation, he took up a job at MIT as Assistant Professor. During his time as a professor, he bought an instrument that he was completely dissatisfied with, this motivated him to improve said instrument, and others of it's kind. After many years of research, he started a now very well known company Y, his family-name/ last-name.
Y has a large number of patents and trademarks and the best company in it's line. X remained Assistant Professor at MIT until 2001 and in 2011, out of great love and respect for his alumni he donated majority of Y's non-voting shares to MIT on condition that the shares can never be sold.
X & Y?
I don't have an explanation for the picture.
