Morgan Stanley has lots of twitter bonds they'd like to get rid of. You could probably buy the bonds directly (at a 70% discount).

^ one of the few responses actually answering the question. Everyone else wants to argue OP out of their bet.
I looked up what Twitter bonds I could find for puchase today and if I'm reading this web site correctly a Twitter bond that runs till 2030 has an effective yield of between 4.86% and 5% depending on daily price fluctuations.

This isn't a very exciting investment opportunity.

A 2030 treasury ETF has a yield of 3.86%. This means you'd be compensated around 1.15% per year for taking on the risk of Twitter going bankrupt.
