He's visible by choice. His bonuses in his Tesla contract are tied to the company's stock price. He realized he could boost the stock by being highly visible, and doing what he does. This lead to multi-billion single day payouts when Musk got people on the internet to buy his inflated stock. Now that he's made himself so visible, it isn't going to change unless he decides to make himself less visible. Which I doubt.

They're tied to revenue (or EBITDA) AND stock price. Just pushing the stock price up doesn't get him any more stock options. He's visible because of his neurosis. He doesn't do it to make money. He's never admitted to it, but it's been hinted at in the past that he also has some kind of bipolar condition as well.
