You can take on debt to buyout another company

  I doubt Uber is taking a loan to buy them. Probably mostly shares of Uber with some % in cash.

  The article mentioned $1.4B in cash.

    Cash in this sense means they're not giving away equity of Uber's cap table as means to finance the acquisition. Where the cash comes from is a different story. As the parent comment suggested, this "cash" is likely levered with outside capital.
