I've met her son and he's a sweet kid with a thousand questions and I just know he's capable of more but just not being engaged at the level he deserves. His mom told me he's been bullied at school as well so tends to keep to himself.

I just see him going down a dark path of the misogyny Tate spews but don't have any sort of authority to talk to him about it.

Forget talking then, it's just not going to work.

You need to address the root causes. Boys and young men who buy into Andrew Tate's nonsense don't buy into it because of logical arguments, so no amount of logical arguments will get them to stop. They buy into it because it addresses certain psychological needs they have. So you and the boy's mother need to find a different way to address them. Start with solving that bullying issue, and then find something meaningful for him to do outside of school, preferably with nice people.

Don't even try to directly attack or argue against his beliefs. Instead, put him in a position where he'll lose his need to have Andrew Tate in his life. I'm fairly sure that will work way better than anything else.
