Is there a way to save this plant? I think at some point ...

@Poisondyecort your plant card indicates no drainage on your pot. Aloe plants absolutely require drainage to avoid getting root rot. They also crave 6+ hours sun so I would move it closer to an east or south facing window. The salt build up could be from minerals that build up in the soil from the water you are using. Here are some tips for removing the salt and improving the health of the plant. I would definitely repot in a new pot with drainage after I did the leaching. I can’t see the roots but if they are not brown and mushy, that means there is no root rot and plant can be saved. If you have brown roots, carefully remove the ends and treat the rest of the the root ball with hydrogen peroxide. I usually put a few oz in a cup and set the root ball in it for a few mins. Good luck 🍀
My plant is in a very planter which has holes and it is kept inside a pot which is closed. I’m sorry but I don’t understand what it means by drainage exactly. Does this plant need to be taken out of the closed pot? The water in the area is really hard and that must be causing the salt build up though other plants don’t have this issue but it could be because I watered the aloe like the others whereas this one needs low amounts of water.
it's probably a pest or fungus. My best guess is you overwatered, which is an invitation for fungus. You should check its root system and repot it in a pot with drainage and a potting mix with good drainage. Try cactus or succulent mix. Also check for mushy roots, it's a sign of root rot. Then, wipe the leaves down with neem oil to remove all white spots. That should clear the plant of fungus
I think the roots are brown mushy and there is so much black stuff. I don’t know if this can be saved?
