You're mixing terms. "Leveraged buyout" is really a term of art referring to a purchase largely financed by debt issued by the purchased company. It only works with well established businesses with really reliable revenue streams. If the business fails, the debts go unpaid.

I would be surprised if Twitter could raise as much as 10% or 20% of its own purchase price.
