This appears to be a Lizard Skin succulent and I think they are supposed to have the white spots. These look normal. Not like an infestation of any kind. Maybe someone sees something I don’t but I think this is a healthy little plant đ”

I donât know if itâs salt, but it is minerals from the water, staying behind after transpiration (the water evaporates but the minerals stay). I use a soft paint brush to âdustâ the leaves.

Common with jade and no cause for concern. Its just pushing out mineral build up/salts.
I would add a drain hole though, jade really like to completely dry out between waterings
