The author settles the following well-known question: does the free Jordan algebra contain nonzero nilpotent elements ? It is proved that the free countable generated Jordan algebra over a field F of characteristic greater than 7 contains nonzero nilpotent elements and nonzero absolute zero divisors. As a corollary it is proved that the free finitely generated Jordan algebra over F on more than 31 free generators contains a nonzero trivial ideal.
